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:
“Why, since man and woman were created for each other, had He made their desires so dissimilar? Why should one class of women be able to dwell in luxurious seclusion from the trials of life, while another class performed their loathsome tasks? Surely His wisdom had not decreed that one set of women should live in degradation and in the end should perish that others might live in security, preserve their frappeed chastity, and in the end be saved.”
—Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 10 (1919)
“We live at a time when man believes himself fabulously capable of creation, but he does not know what to create.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“From cradle to grave this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be, the task of education, as it is the moral of religion, philosophy, science, art, politics and economy; but a boy’s will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
