Hokkaido International School students once again returned to Kitara Hall, and not just to the venue itself but the the Large Hall, after an 8-year absence, to deliver the long-awaited all-school performance titled, “The Present”.
As the name suggests, the performance this year bore the double-meanings of gift and current time, taking the audience on a time journey through different eras of music. From the opening piece to the closing moment, the attention of those in attendance were simply riveted by the talents of our students who, under the guidance of their music teachers, reached attained new heights.
We hope that you will want to relive this experience made available through DVDs that are one order now.
