何韻詩於見山書店辦網上音樂會 警聲稱「收噪音投訴」封鎖書店外調查
Independent singer Denise Ho, who has faced pressure from the Hong Kong government, held an online concert at Mount Zero Books in Sheung Wan on Sunday afternoon, with a livestream also taking place outside the bookstore. The concert lasted about an hour. More than a dozen police officers arrived in succession, saying they had “received noise complaints”.
Police put up a cordon, recorded the identity-card details of everyone inside the bookstore one by one, and filmed the situation inside. The indoor performance was also temporarily suspended midway through the outdoor livestream. Ho subsequently continued the concert inside the bookstore, and the online livestream was not affected.

記協周日音樂會取消改網上演出 指基於不可抗力因素
The Hong Kong Journalists Association had been due to hold a concert on Sunday (the 28th) to raise funds, but announced tonight that it had been cancelled and would instead be staged online. It said the cancellation was due to force majeure factors during the final preparations. HKJA chairman Chan Long-sing wrote on social media: “I really want to say that we have all tried our very best,” lamenting that “unfortunately, in this world, trying one’s best is not a factor that ensures success.”
The HKJA had planned to hold a concert titled “A Momentary Utopia” on Sunday evening to raise funds. The event was to feature musical performances, a charity auction, social sharing and wine and snacks. The promotional poster did not mention a specific venue or the guest performers, but described the participants as a group of musicians whose careers had been held back by news, several creators pursuing their dreams, and a journalists’ union that had walked alongside everyone for 56 years, “meeting you after sunset.”
香港記者協會原定周日（28日） 舉辦音樂會籌募經費，但今晚宣布取消，將改以網上形式演出，取消的原因是在最後籌辦階段基於不可抗力因素。記協主席陳朗昇在社交網站表示，「很想說，我們都已很盡力」，並慨嘆「奈何，世間，盡力不是事成要素」。
記協原定周日晚上舉辦名為《刹那的烏托邦》的音樂會，以籌募經費。活動屆時有音樂表演、慈善拍賣、聯誼分享及美酒小食，但宣傳海報未有提及具體地點、表演嘉賓，但就指是一群被新聞耽誤的音樂人、幾位追逐夢想的創作者，及一個與大家同行56年的記者工會，「與你相約日落黃昏後」。
