Over the past two years, grade 6 students have been provided with an opportunity to further develop their musical interests through an instrumental and choral programme. Coordinated by the primary music team of Shanhong Hughes, Serene Xie and Robert Choi, with Kevin Ahern, what was groundbreaking for CIS 15/16 academic year has now become a tradition of providing exciting and inspiring music experiences for our grade 6 students to highlight and develop the diversity and depth of their artistic talents.

In two performances on 22 and 23 May, parents, teachers and students were treated to a smorgasbord of musical sounds and expression, ranging from traditional classical music to the latest pop and movie hits. Finely-tuned string players presented Can-Can by Bizet, Lightly Row, Sailor's Song, Concerto by Vivaldi and March Grandioso as well as the Main Theme from Star Wars and Hedwig's Theme. Our polished flute, trumpet and euphonium ensembles bedazzled with Old MacDonald, Sonatina, The Good Life, See the Conquering Hero Comes by Handel, You Raise Me Up and the Theme from Rocky and the brilliant chorus wrapped up the performances by singing This Day Of Peace, Viva La Vida and We Will Care.

We applaud our students for their commitment and engagement, and our parents and teachers for encouraging, supporting and guiding our young musicians to new heights. Congratulations!
