2015 Primary Summer Music and Arts Festival

On June 11, SUIS Pudong Primary celebrated their first Summer Music and Arts Festival. More than 300 parents and students came to enjoy a live concert and commemorate art week in different locations all over the school.

Joining hands, the Art and Music Department created a unique experience that brought students, parents, teachers and staff together. The focus was set on art and music with a stage erected outdoors, featuring a big LED screen that displayed images and videos of students’ art works. Having brought blankets and food, parents settled on the field and enjoyed the sunshine while listening to a diverse concert program.

Art was on display in the library as well. Our students created the “SUIS Metro Station”, a large-scale installation that had been created in the days prior to the event. Showing their parents around, students pointed out the process of creating the installation, and what their particular contribution had been.

Live music on the stage featured our two choirs and the Percussion Ensemble, accompanied by piano, guitar and flute. Music pieces from different countries and in different languages were sung and played live, showcasing the noteworthy musical achievement in our ensembles.

Providing artistic stimuli in a relaxed social setting proved to be just the right mixture – the school community came together on a beautiful summer day to acknowledge artistic achievements and celebrate the end of an eventful and successful academic year.

Thank you parents, students and fellow teachers for a wonderful outdoor concert!
