Many Voices, One Stage 最大规模哈罗音乐会震撼奏响上海交响音乐厅！

200多位哈罗学子同台共演

两小时16首多元风格音乐作品

上千人现场与线上见证欣赏

九校哈罗学子组成AISL交响乐团与合唱团

两小时演出16首曲目，古典、现代、民族、爵士……东西方音乐无缝融合。从勃拉姆斯《大学庆典序曲》的辉煌，到贝多芬小提琴与乐队《浪漫曲》的柔美；从薛之谦经典歌曲《认真的雪》的动人旋律，到令人惊叹的合唱和声——这不仅仅是一场音乐会——更是一段音乐旅程。古筝、二胡、笛子等中国传统乐器与西方交响乐团激情碰撞，交织出一场既古典又创新的声音盛宴。

当AISL交响乐团奏响经典的《上海滩》主题曲，熟悉的旋律让人瞬间陷入回忆。经过全新编排，这首曲子焕发出更加磅礴与深情的生命力——既唤起了大家对那个时代、对这座城市的集体记忆，也展现了交响乐打动人心的独特力量。

压轴曲目是谭盾的代表作《Better City, Better Life》。由九校学子组建而成的AISL交响乐团与合唱团联袂哈罗上海小学和中学合唱队共同演绎。当最后一个音符落下，掌声雷动。那一刻，我们用音符和歌声唱响对未来美好城市的想象。

这场演出的背后，是团队的力量。在音乐总监Mr Penfold 的带领下，学生们在各校老师的指导下携手合作，把每一个节奏、和声、转场都雕琢得细致入微、恰到好处。

后台的每一分钟都充满了温情：调音、协作、临上场前的最后确认……在短短的两天交流活动中，学生们互相帮助、认真倾听、不断学习，在音乐的碰撞中建立起真挚的友谊。

这场演出不只是关于舞台，更是关于“如何连接彼此、创造共鸣、共同成长”。

The Harrow Inter-School Orchestra and Choir were formed for the first time, bringing together musicians from different schools.

Over 200 talented Harrovians performed as one,
delivering 16 musical pieces over two hours,
with thousands of people in the audience and online.

Two hours.

16 unforgettable performances.
One seamless blend of East and West.

From the brilliance of Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture to Beethoven’s Romance for solo violin and orchestra; from the catchy charm of Joker Xue’s classic song 认真的雪 (Serious Snow) to spine-tingling choral harmonies—this wasn’t just a concert, it was a musical journey. Traditional Chinese instruments like guzheng, erhu, and dizi met the full force of a Western orchestra, creating a soundscape that was both traditional and boundary breaking.

As the AISL Orchestra struck up the iconic theme from The Bund, fond memories were awakened. Reimagined through the power of orchestration, this beloved melody took on new life—more majestic, more moving. It stirred a collective nostalgia for an era and for Shanghai itself, while showcasing the evocative strength unique to symphonic performance.

Tan Dun's Better City, Better Life was performed by the newly formed AISL Orchestra and Choir—alongside additional singers from Harrow Shanghai’s Primary and Upper Schools—this final number brought the house down. It was a moment of pure unity shared vision of a better future echoing through every note.

This wasn't just talent—it was teamwork. Students worked side by side under the guidance of their music teachers, led by Mr Penfold, Director of Visual and Performing Arts, who shaped every rhythm, harmony, and transition into something masterful.

Backstage? A flurry of last-minute tuning, encouragement, and real friendship. Students helped each other, listened to each other, learned from each other. It was collaboration in action.

Before the concert, students took part in two days of exchange—rehearsing, bonding, and diving deep into each other's musical worlds. It wasn't just about the stage. It was about learning to connect, to create, and to grow. 

Director of Performing and Visual Arts from Harrow Shanghai

It is an amazing experience, performing in the symphony hall, getting to know new friends from nine harrow schools! It is hard to work together but also fun. As the leader of AISL orchestra, I really liked playing with a big orchestra full of friends and work together to push to a higher level of performance. I started off feeling anxious about the performance, but as soon as we came together by Saturday I start to build confidence. We really worked together at the end and everyone was amazing! I loved it, and thank you to Mr Penfold, conductors, orchestra, choir and all staff that are involved in this that help give us a tremendous experience!

It was a true celebration of the Harrow community. On the evening of the concert, the hall was almost full. Nearly a thousand parents, students, and guests filled every seat—and thousands more joined online as everyone came together to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our Harrovians.

"Many Voices" isn't just a name—it's what we stand for. Cross-cultural understanding, collaboration, and bold self-expression.

I am cherished to have the chance of working with all those talented, amazing pupils, to perform in front of a wonderful group of people. To work with nine other Harrow schools, I can feel everybody as a family, connected by all the wonderful music we made together. Finally, I am more proud than I can be for all our efforts put in and a huge thank you to everyone participating in this significant concert that is going to be memorable for a long time.
