The sell-out audience of over 1,800 people filled the Queen Elizabeth Stadium on 30th April at the ESF Primary Choral Concert, as 600 talented students from 11 primary schools sang their hearts out and rose to the occasion. The theme was ‘Together Again’, symbolising the concert’s joyous return and comeback after five years of absence. It was a night of programme encompassing a wide variety of styles, including the traditional English folk song Scarborough Fair, Brazilian melody A Zing A Za, South African song Bhombela sung in Zulu, Chinese folk song Mo Li Hua, and a poptastic Beatles medley that got people clapping along. The evening was a success with the effort of every single student, who brought the melody to life, perfecting their performance under one roof.

The cast of ‘Stella’, wowed audiences during three sparkling performances of this wonderful, original musical. Written, composed, directed and conducted by L6 pupil, Danielle Lau, it was not only an excellent showcase of Danielle’s many artistic talents but also a testament to her passion, ambition and sheer handwork. Some of Malvern’s budding actors, our P4-6 choir and the senior orchestra joined the cast and all gave outstanding performances too. The school encourages all their pupils to pursue their dreams.

Music filled the air at Invictus Secondary campus as a group of talented musicians brought some live tunes during lunch time! From Baroque to Pop, they covered a wide range of genres with singing, drum kit, violin, piano, horn, electronic guitar, and percussion ensemble. The audience enjoyed the performances while indulging in their lunch. What a wonderful way to brighten up the day with some incredible music!
