Organizing a soloist concert for a group of around 40 Year 11 students was no small feat, but thanks to the exceptional coordination of Michele, our mighty soloist coordinator, the event was a resounding success. We are incredibly grateful for her tireless efforts and commitment to making this night possible.
We also extend a huge thanks to Jen, Tanya, Keiko, and Penchan for preparing a scrumptious meal for all the students, and to everyone behind the scenes who contributed to making this event a memorable night.
Special thanks to Fei Xia for providing the majority of video clips for each solo performance, and to Tanya for creating the collage image and Ruth for capturing the finale stage video. The video embedded at the beginning includes all the soloists who performed last Friday, with each performer showcased for one minute. Please note that the order in the video follows the printed program and not the actual performance sequence.
Unfortunately, we lost the video footage for Allyson Wu’s performance, so we’ve included photo slides accompanied by a borrowed music clip instead. Additionally, the video clips for Daniel Zhu and Aidan Carey are slightly shorter than one minute.
