NAE Young Musician Winners Performance Soiree

On 8th June, we had a lovely soirée where our Winners of the "NAE Global Campus Virtual Young Musician of the Year 2023 Competition" performed their winning piece. They were presented with their official certificates and gifts as well. The audience was really impressed to enjoyed their live performances.

This competition was created to highlight the talent across Nord Anglia schools worldwide. It included classical and popular instrumental and vocal categories as well as composition. The entire competition is facilitated by a student submitting a video of their performance to the NAE Global Campus website, and then the performance is judged by music faculty across Nord Anglia.NAE received 1226 entries in total so to be considered a finalist is an outstanding achievement!

This year, BSB Shunyi had well over 70 students who submitted their entries.Thank you so very much for taking part in this competition. Our aim was to connect our students through music and their love of performing. We are very proud of them all.

Congratulations to our 12 students who won awards! Click on their names to watch their performances.
