The Hong Kong Inter-School Choral Festival cum Masterclass is a competition where the adjudicators who are choral experts critique the choirs after their performance. It allows the choirs to receive valuable advice and thus continue to improve.
Our Senior Choir received a gold award with their performance of the piece ‘Cikala le Pong Pong’, a Pakpaknese folksong from Indonesia. It incorporates percussion elements such as stomping, clapping and snapping to create an energetic, playful, and light-hearted atmosphere.
Our Junior Choir was awarded a gold award with a heartfelt piece, ‘不會來了’, by Austin Yip, a song inspired by Chinese poet Gu Cheng’s poem, ‘Little Fish’. The piece captures a profound emotional journey, transitioning from a peaceful depiction of a little fish to the poet’s mournful grief of loss.
Our Junior Choir also partnered with Wah Yan College, Kowloon to form the Junior Mixed Choir. They won a gold award with the piece ‘Boats Sail on the Rivers’ by Victor Johnson.
With the expertise and guidance of the adjudicators, our choirs were given tips on improvements that made an immediate difference to our performance.
Congratulations to both choirs for their dedication and hard work, and a huge thank you to the conductors, Ms Rebecca Lam and Mr Wallace Ng from Wah Yan College, Kowloon.
