2018 NCPA Spring Concert was successfully held on April 22. The amazing performances, the enthusiastic audience, and the hard work behind-the-scenes created a precious memory for everyone.

Even though the performance began at 2pm, teachers and students arrived at the Xinghai Concert hall at 7:30am to rehearse and prepare for the concert. The high humidity could not break the focus of the performers. Students were calm and started getting excited once they began to dress for the concert.

The Xinghai Concert is an opportunity for our young musicians to experience performing in a professional setting. Standing on the stage, students acted like experienced performers. They were proud to share their hard work with both parents and teachers who attended the event.

Before the performance, teachers from music department carefully guided students, helping them quickly adapt to the new stage. Teachers were keenly aware that all the musicians experienced great change throughout the school year. There were more NCPA staff who worked tirelessly to guarantee the concert would be a success. Many thanks for their many contributions to planning this event.

The entryway of the Xinghai Concert Hall was quickly filled with eager patrons. The air was filled with excitement as people gathered before the performance. One special visitor stood out among the crowd, a sweet six-year old girl. Her parents said that she had attended the NCPA Spring Concert last year and she enjoyed it so much, they brought her again this year. This is in part due to the caliber of our students and the undeniable power of music.

From the first note played by the band, the audience quieted and was engaged throughout the performance.  They erupted in thunderous applause for the final bow of our talented musicians. Proud parents could hardly wait to take photos of their children to immortalize the special occasion.

The 2018 Spring Concert was a huge success. We are already looking forward to next year!
