Welcome to our student performance! We are thrilled to share this unique musical evening with you. The music is about us, and the performers are all of us students with different passions, histories, and styles. The music will be joyous and lively as well as emotional and soul-stirring. As a living example of the collaboration and creativity we have developed over the years, the class collaborated to compose one of the large pieces. To say goodbye to Grade 10, we will also perform music by Rachmaninov. We appreciate your support and presence, and we hope you enjoy the entire program!
