Tao Wexler @ United for the Future Concert

On the 25th of September, Tao in Year 8 performed a wonderful piece of music in front of a full crowd. It was a great sight to see Tao fully focused playing Albert Pieszonka’s most famous Tarantella on a Fazioli piano. The piano itself was described as a beautiful, crystal clear sounding piano with a huge price tag. Tao has won prizes at many international competitions and has been described as ‘playing at a mature level for one so young’. Tao said he was pleased with his performance despite being a little nervous and looks forward to playing many more concerts.

Together with being a great pianist Tao is also constantly involved in community service projects.

On October 22, Tao along with family went to Sanam Luang to pay respect for His Majesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej. The family offered 500 kg of home grown Longan and volunteered for Red Cross and Thai Fight by giving away medicines, sticky rice and chicken, ice cream, and drinks.

Annual Music Recital

Parents and visitors enjoyed watching over 30 children perform as part of our annual Music Recital. The children from both Primary and Early Years played various musical pieces on the piano, violin and flute. It was a wonderful experience for all involved. Many thanks to Mrs Lyng for organising the event and to the children for all their hard work and practice.

Whole School Choir Update

The Whole School Choir are sounding fantastic. We had our 3rd rehearsal on Monday and it’s great to hear that we are mastering some challenging harmonies already!

Whole School Choir involves everyone from the school community! So why not give it a try next week!

Music Scholars perform at American Food Fair

On Friday 2nd October, 9 Music Scholars, along with Miss Teague and Mr. Ansell traveled to Central World, having been invited to perform at the opening of the American Food Fair.

With a planned repertoire of American hits including medleys from ‘Wicked’ and ‘Frozen’, we arrived to discover that ‘Singing in the Rain’ would have been more appropriate!

A huge thunderstorm had left the outdoor event looking a bit soggy, but we weren’t going to let that stop us, and the students performed excellently, demonstrating again what excellent Music scholars we have at the school.
