Schools in Concert 2016

October 24, 2016 by admin

BDAS has recently embarked on a new series of concerts aimed at providing a platform for our youths to showcase their talents in a formal concert hall setting and gain valuable stage performance experience while spreading their love of music.

This event brings together a few schools to present a concert and aims to minimise the logistics for school administration. It also provides an opportunity for school bands who do not have the required support and resources to hold a public concert, to have one for their students.

The inaugural “Schools In Concert” series will be presented on the following date:

9th November (Wednesday)
Victoria Concert Hall, 7pm – 9pm

The schools performing are for this inaugural event are:

CHIJ Katong Convent Concert Band
Montfort Secondary School Military Band
Rivervale Primary School Brass Band 
Saint Anthony’s Canossian Primary School Concert Band

Steps to place order for tickets:
1.) Email to ticketing@bdas.org.sg
