Ho Wai-On R.I.P. and Memorial Service

 

A Memorial Service for Ho Wai-On will be held on Tuesday at 12.30 pm at St Andrew's Wickford. Wai-On was a composer, and creator/director of works/projects combining music, dance, drama and visual arts across different cultures.

In the face of adversity Wai-On found happiness through creativity. She lived in London for most of her life, but spent her earlier years in Hong Kong. Being bi-lingual and bicultural, it was easy for her to extend her boundaries, to increase her knowledge and pleasure in things artistic and cultural and this was an asset to her creative work.
