Twenty-nine students from the Pui Ching Secondary School Orchestra traveled to Singapore with their instructor Mr. Tou Long Meng and music teacher Mr. Leong Chi Lam to participate in the 1^st GSF Youth Orchestra Festival jointly organized by the Global Strings Federation and the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music of the National University of Singapore.  The event attracted young musicians from Singapore, Macao, Taipei, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, among other areas.

In the eight-day event, the Pui Ching Orchestra performed in a number of concerts, including the opening concert, a large-scale outdoor concert, a showcase performance, and the closing concert for the combined orchestras.  During the showcase performance, our school orchestra won the Most Promising Ensemble Award with its performance of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings.  Congratulations to our young musicians!
