华中高中部华乐团 成立于1974年，华中高中部华乐团至今已走过48年的光辉岁月，是阵容强大， 是在雄厚的华乐团。多年来，华中华乐团栽培出了一批优秀的乐手，都积极活 跃于本地乐坛。在指挥魏砚铭教授进一步的带领与教导下，技巧精湛、风格鲜 明的华中华乐团在新加坡青年节汇演中从不缺席，并屡获最高荣誉。此外，华 中华乐团也积极参与社会活动。乐团经常受邀在社区庆典与晚宴上演出，并多 次出国进行交流学习，进一步完善与提高各位团员的音乐知识和演奏技巧。此 乐团对推广和普及我国的华乐和华族文化也做出了一定的贡献。 从1982年起，华中华乐团每两年会定期举办音乐会《天籁回音》，乐迷反应热 烈，好品如潮。本着精益求精的原则，华乐团一直在尝试以及触及到不同风格 的曲目，不仅丰富我们的表演，也能把华乐的多才多艺展现的淋漓尽致。由于 今年是特殊的一年，此音乐会在新冠疫情期间举行，因此今晚的主题是《天籁 回音之幕夜繁星》。借此，我们希望那充满灵韵及能量的乐章能把正能量传递 给大家，鼓励大家在这非常时期重拾信心，感受生命的圆融和美好。 Established in 1974, the Hwa Chong Chinese Orchestra (HCCO) continues to contribute and participate extensively in the local Chinese music scene. Under the baton of Professor Wei Yanming, HCCO has consistently excelled at the biennial Singapore Youth Festival (SYF). A regular at various community celebrations and events, HCCO also often takes part in overseas exchange programmes to further improve our musicality and to spread our love for music far beyond our borders. In 1982, HCCO took a bold step forward and organised our own inaugural concert, themed "Heavenly Echoes". It received glowing audience reviews and has since become a biennial performance, one of our proudest traditions yet. Each year, HCCO strive to establish new frontiers by challenging the notion that a Chinese Orchestra must be traditional while staying within our own cultural roots. We explore and touch on different genres of music, ranging from pop songs to classical music, so do look forward to them! As this concert is held in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, we hope that our theme tonight "Heavenly Echoes: Astra Aspera" radiates the positive energy to all of you through the lively but charming pieces that we will bring to you tonight. With that, we hope all of you will have a enjoyable time with us. Sit, relax and join us under stars!
