Cantabile 2016

Actually, I don't know such a word until recently. So chim.

Zyan has been learning violin for one year-plus.
This year, the school asked if we would like Zyan to be part of their annual concert.
We said yes. And it's today!

His concert attire was borrowed from a friend. Hehehe.

It's held at Lee Foundation Theatre, NAFA Campus 3.
We had to bring him there around 2.45pm, so that he can join for the last rehearsal.
I dropped off Karinna and Zyan at the place, and then went in search of cheaper parking place.

Alamak, the various road works there give me headache. Circled a few rounds, and didn't find a good parking place.
In the end, settled at some distance away from the concert venue. Not too far, about 5-10 minutes walk away.

After we left Zyan at the rehearsal, we just find some place to chill and had coffee.
Had to wait till about 5pm, then we were supposed to pick up his dinner pack, and let him have his dinner before the concert.
They released the students a little late.
Anyway, I passed Zyan his food, and got him to take his dinner himself at the auditorium.
We just left him there like that. *glee*

Karinna and myself then went for some vegetarian dinner at Fortune Centre. :P

Finally, at 7pm, we were then able to go into the auditorium to wait for the start of the concert.
Even brought the seldom-used DSLR camera to put into its good use. ;)

His group of violinist happened to be the first group of performers.
Was joking to Karinna that we can go home after that. Hahaha.

There were many different groups of performances. Most of them are doing violin and piano.
There's 1 boy doing cello! Cool.
And some guitars and vocals.

It's a good platform for these young people to experience performing on stage.
Some of the better ones were given chance for solo performances too. Some trophies were given to them as well.
Hope it boosts their confidences in playing the instruments and improve further.

At the end of the concert, there is a finale.
It's all the performers coming together and singing "What A Wonderful World".

My little Zyan sang quite loudly too. From where we were sitting, I think I heard his voice.
Well, I could have heard wrongly though. :P

There were supposed to have some videos taken by Karinna for Zyan's group performance.
But I don't have the files with me.
Probably will put one of them up in FB when I get the file.

Till next year ... ...
