In 1956, Hong Kong Baptist College was founded by the Baptist Convention of Hong Kong as a post-secondary college committed to the provision of whole-person education. It gained university status in 1994. Today, Hong Kong Baptist University encompasses eight Faculties/Schools offering a wide range of undergraduate programs, as well as postgraduate programs leading to the award of master and doctoral degrees. It has rapidly gained a reputation as one of Asia’s finest institutions of higher learning.

The new Jockey Club Campus of Creativity (JC3), designed by P&T Architects & Engineers Ltd., along with interior designer Meta4 Design Forum Ltd. is currently under construction. This cutting-edge facility, scheduled to be complete by mid 2024, will be home to C. B. Fisk Opus 158. The building will include an innovative Multi-Purpose Space which will serve as a gathering place for students, a recital venue for small ensembles, and an organ teaching, practice, and recital studio.

Opus 158 is a three-manual, 33-stop instrument whose tonal design is at once historically informed and broadly eclectic. Students will have at their disposal authentic sounds from 18th-century Germany as well as 18th- and 19th-century France. They will access these tonal resources via a reliable and responsive carbon-fiber-based key action. We believe the opportunity for unfettered musical expression of a wide variety of the solo organ repertoire will be unmatched in Hong Kong.

The organ is scheduled for delivery in January of 2024.
