CHINESE ORCHESTRA
Holy Innocents' Chinese Orchestra (HICO) is a vibrant, united and dynamic community of students with a common passion of bringing Chinese Orchestra music to the school and public. Here in HICO, we strive for excellence in standards and performance, with determination, hard work and help from our dedicated teachers, instructors and peers.
In our HICO journey, we learn about different forms of music and traditional instruments. We play not only traditional Chinese music but also western pop songs and other modern music forms. We also form strong and lasting bonds with our members, develop teamwork and leadership skills, and most importantly, have fun!
Our objective in HICO is to bring awareness of Chinese music and instruments to not just the students in HI, but also to the people and community all around as well. Students will be provided with opportunities to learn and apply relevant knowledge, skills in Chinese Orchestra music and culture as they contribute meaningfully to the school and community through performances and cultural showcases.
