Reflections from the Performers: Alice and Ayden
Our last Book Recital of 2020-2021 was a Book 3 violin recital performed by Ayden and Alice. Please enjoy their reflections on the experience.
from Ayden
It was a very fun and exciting experience being able to perform in front of friends and family. I felt proud that I was able to do duets with people. Most pieces that I played were very exciting and I couldn’t wait to play them all. Even though I played a few wrong notes, I shrugged it off and continued to perform with confident. This was the best recital I have ever done!

Grand Group Class Concert!
In spite of a location change requiring additional logistics and organisation from every student and family, SMAHK held its annual Grand Group Class Concert on Sunday, 8 December.
Due to the efforts of Ester Li (mother of Caleb and Chloe), we were able to have the concert at the Church of All Nations chapel at Hong Kong International School. We are very grateful to Ester, and to Pastor Joel and Megan from HKIS. The chapel was a very warm and inviting environment; all week, we have been receiving comments by email and in person from people who thoroughly enjoyed the concert venue.
Our theme for this year is “Beautiful Tone, Beautiful Heart”. There is no better time for us to be sharing our hearts with one another through our music. The concert was a wonderful example of this, with all of the group classes performing repertoire designed to share our tone and hearts together.
Thank you to all of the parents who helped with the set up before the concert, as well as to all of the students and parents for their preparations before the concert. What a wonderful spirit of community to take with us into the holiday season!
