Sharief reminded the students and audience that notes and rhythms speak where words cannot, serving as a universal bridge between nations. He urged the young singers to continue using their voices as instruments of harmony, telling them that every melody they share has the power to heal and unite.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The programme opened with warm welcome remarks from VIC Music Club President, Mr. Sean Dunlop, encouraging the performers to keep using music as an instrument of peace. This was followed by a special message from the Principal of CCC Kei Wan Primary School (Aldrich Bay), Dr. Wong Ching Man.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The musical highlight of the afternoon was led by the accomplished conductor Victor So, who guided performers through a moving seven-piece international repertoire:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A concurrent painting exhibition, organized together with the VIC Art Club, filled the exhibition area with children\u2019s artworks on harmony and hope.
