From 2 to 10 August, our choir boys, accompanied by Mrs. Sandy Ng, Ms Eileen Yu and Ms Tracy Pun, took their talents abroad and participated in the 4th European Choir Games in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Under the baton of Mr. Sanders Lau, our intermediate boys' choir and the intermediate mixed choir (SPC & Sacred Heart Canossian College) competed with many other top international choirs in Categories O2 (Youth Choirs – Mixed and equal voices) and O6 (Music Sacra with accompaniment) on 4 August. Their brilliant performances booked them a place for both categories in the Grand Prix of Nation Competition held on 6 August. Their achievements are as follows:
Category O2 |
(Youth Choirs – mixed and equal voices): 1st Runner-up |
Category O6 |
(Music Sacra with accompaniment): Champion |
Category Gp 2 |
(Youth Choirs – mixed and equal voices): Gold medal |
Category Gp 6 |
(Music Sacra with accompaniment): Gold medal |
To their credit, our choir members had spent extraordinary amounts of time and effort over the summer preparing for the contests. The College warmly congratulates all of them on their first choral success in the international arena.
