The First Initiative Foundation held a soirée on Monday to announce its upcoming "Hong Kong! Hong Kong!" charity event.

The July 13 event will feature not only a Michelin-star dinner and auction, but a concert at which mainland pianist Lang Lang will perform with local Canto-pop star Eason Chan Yik-shun.

The foundation, which engages in projects that benefit the local community, treated guests to a preview of the big night.

There was a brief performance by violinists Kirill Troussov and Wen Wei, followed by a piano duet of Brahms' Hungarian Dance No5 by the foundation's scholarship benefactors Jonathan Yang and Kate Lee.

"We will continue supporting more initiatives to uplift the Hong Kong community at home and abroad. The theme of 'Hong Kong! Hong Kong!' was chosen because we want to celebrate all that the city has to offer in the area of arts, design and music," said Michelle Ong-Cheung, the founder and chairwoman of the foundation.
