On July 7th, Stellae Boreales gave a concert that the Chinese would never forget, in a good way of course!
This concert took place at the Chinese National Orchestra Concert Hall in front of an audience of approximately 300, consisting mainly of the families who work for our presenting sponsor Manulife Sinochem. Although this was our second performance in China, it was our first formally structured concert. For half an hour before the concert, a few members of Stellae Boreales conducted a petting zoo for the children at the concert. This experience was enriching for both the Chinese children as they learned how to hold the violins and for those who got to assume the role as teacher
in this interacting activity. And the smiles on the children’s faces definitely made the whole experience worth it!
As for the concert, I have to say it was definitely one of our finer performances which came with all the hard work, practice, and dedication from each member of Stellae Boreales and especially Rosemarie, Kit and Liko. One could also tell that the audience really enjoyed the music because of their thunderous applause and their enlightening comments afterwards. Everyone performed very well under the pressure and gave it their all in this very important concert leaving both the performers and audience delighted.
