The Voice of Concordian 2020
A
s is tradition, Concordian International School’s PY section organized The Voice of Concordian Chinese Singing Contest to celebrate the Chinese New Year 2020. This year is already the 4th season running and this spectacular event continued to amaze our school community. The theme of the Voice was carefully chosen to be the Peking Opera Mask/Make-up, not only because it was a world-renowned symbol of Chinese culture, but also because the combination of unique facial expressions and strong color contrast allowed everyone to connect to it. The three primary colors: red, yellow and blue were selected to represent the originality andauthenticity of our students’ voices. Our Grade 1 to Grade 5 took agency in being part of the creation of the beautiful stage decoration. After auditions, sixteen performances were selected to compete in the Voice Finale on the 23th of January 2020. On stage, all the finalists confidently proved their Chinese ability and singing talents. Their beautiful voices, genuine emotions, singing techniques and individual styles in conjunction with stage presence won the hearts of our judges and the enthusiastic crowd. We would like to express our appreciation to our judges: Mr. Yuri, Ms. Sally, student judge Ken G12, and last but not least, our guest judge Ms. Zhao Yiping. Ms. Zhao is a professional singer, vocal trainer and owner of a music school in Bangkok. She has been actively involved in many cultural exchange events between China and Thailand. We were very lucky and thankful to have her in our judge panel this year.
