Hong Kong businessman Richard Li has donated $1 million to the National Arts Centre, the largest single donation the Ottawa-based arts organization has ever received.

Li made the surprise donation on Wednesday night at a fund-raising gala.

The evening, featuring scores of well-heeled guests, was a fundraiser for the NAC's National Youth and Education Trust, a fund that spreads the joy of music to young people."
