Live in Unity is a series of concerts held by a Hong Kong female singer, Denise Ho / Hocc. It started on October 26-28, 2006 called Hocc Live in Unity 2006 at Hong Kong Coliseum. Due to the great feedback from the audience, Hocc continued the show by performing a part two on January 19-20, 2007 called Hocc Live in Unity 2007 at the same venue. She started her world tour of the Live in Unity series on January 14, 2007 at Macau Fisherman's Wharf and extended it to Toronto, Canada and Atlantic City, USA. The slogan and theme of Live in Unity are "We Stand As One" and to "Live in Unity".
The concert concept is to express how Hocc herself walked through these 10 years in her music career and how she gained so much love and support in this period of time, gradually forming their own united group as expressed in the song "The Illuminous Organization" (光明會). The concert was well organized to express this idea, including all the colored parts in her rundown, which marks the different steps in her music career); the stage design, which starts off as a tiny stage far from the audience, gradually expanding towards all directions and reaching every corner.
As usual, Hocc collaborated with her band, Green Mountain Orchestra (青山大樂隊) and a few members from People Mountain People Sea (人山人海), for this series of concerts.
Famous quotes containing the words live in, live and/or unity:
“The richest of all lords is Use,
And ruddy Health the loftiest Muse.
Live in the sunshine, swim the sea,
Drink the wild air’s salubrity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 4:1-3.
