2017 Spring concert
Our 2017 Sixth Annual Spring Concert was amazing! It was a full house at the Santa Monica Public Library auditorium. Our talented musicians included students, parents, teachers and experienced professionals. They performed everything from Western classical, to traditional Chinese, to pop. We also enjoyed choral performances by our parents, teachers and children. It was a real delight to listen as so many wonderful performers shared their love of music with our Westside Chinese School community.
Many heartfelt thanks to the parents, teachers and students who participated in the concert! We would also like to express our deep gratitude to professional musicians Ms. Mei-Ye Ma (instrument: Pipa 琵琶), Ms. Hejia Gao (instrument: guzheng 古箏) and Mr. Jeff Chen (instrument: liuqin 柳琴). They also performed at the concert, making it a truly memorable evening.
Last, but not least, this awesome event would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of many dedicated parents and teachers who contributed their time and resources. We are especially grateful to the following individuals:
Ms. Valerie Hsu, a parent in our school, organized and sponsored the concert. She very generously donated the funds to rent the auditorium and underwrite the concert expenses. In addition, she offered her home for rehearsal practices, prepared souvenirs for the performers, decorated the auditorium and provided refreshments for everyone to enjoy after the concert.
Ms. Jane Peng, our PB2 teacher, served as the concert coordinator. She did everything from arranging the concert program to inviting professional musicians and overseeing practice sessions.
Ms. Judith Chan, a parent in our school. She is an experienced music teacher who oversaw practice sessions and conducted the teachers’ choir.
Ms. Ching-Yi Wang, a composer-pianist, arranged the music for the student ensembles and helped oversee the practice sessions.
Victor Lee, a parent in our school, served as videographer.
Davis Lee, a parent in our school, served as photographer.
Ms. Susa Chen, our 1B2 teacher, served as the hostess of the concert.
We cannot thank them enough for all their hard work that went into creating a wonderful Spring Concert.
We also want to thank the concert goers and other supporters who generously donated to the school.
