Mr Jon, our fabulous Music Teacher at TX Campus, has written all about our amazing FOBISIA Youth Choir. Have a look below at his congratulatory words and our amazing video. Well done everyone.
The newly formed FOBISIA Youth Choir of Ho Chi Minh
City comprising 60 students from ABC International School, BVIS and BIS have
been rehearsing hard for months in preparation for their first ever concert.
They performed with the International Choir and Orchestra of Ho Chi Minh City
as well as singing 3 songs on their own. The concerts also featured the Asian
premiere of Zimbe! – a fusion of traditional African songs and jazz.
The hard work and dedication of 60 students from
ABCIS, BVIS and BIS – the newly formed FOBISIA Youth Choir of Ho Chi Minh City
- was rewarded with 2 stunning concert
at Soul Academy on Thursday and Friday night last week. Along with musicians
and singers from the International Choir and Orchestra of Ho Chi Minh City the
youth choir dazzled the audience with their wonderful singing, bright T-shirts
and huge smiles.
28 BIS children from AP1, TX and AP2 along with
students from BVIS and ABCIS joined forces to form the FOBISIA Youth Choir of
Ho Chi Minh City. They have been rehearsing hard for months and have enjoyed
the opportunity to sing with, and get to know, each other. Their debut concerts
were on Thursday 18th and Friday 19th May as they
performed in the ‘Joy of Song’ Concerts at Soul Academy with the International
Choir and Orchestra of Ho Chi Minh City.
To an audience of family and friends the children sang
a Gospel medley in three parts then were accompanied by the orchestra to sing
‘This Is Our World’ and the live premiere of ‘Free As A Bird’. Wearing their
special FOBISIA Zimbe! T-shirts they not only looked the part but sounded
amazing too. In the second half of the concert they were joined by the adult
choir and a jazz quintet to perform the Asian premiere of Zimbe! – a fusion of
traditional African songs and jazz. The combined efforts of children and adults
had the audience in Soul’s hall tapping their feet and clapping to the
infectious rhythms and it was a truly spectacular sound.
The music teams of BIS, BVIS and ABCIS are all very
proud of you – a massive Well Done!
