The KZN Young Performers Concert is a platform that celebrates the brilliance of young musical talent. Three students were among the performers who knocked the audience’s socks off!
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (25 October 2024) – Musically talented youth got to immerse audiences in the commanding power of their voices and instrumental artistry at the prestigious KZN Young Performers Concert hosted by the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra and the Durban Centre of the South African Society of Music Teachers (SASMT) at the Durban Playhouse.
The event showcases the top of KZN’s young musical talents affording them the amazing opportunity to perform live with Africa’s premier orchestra.
Performers under the age of 23 who are selected from auditions to perform on this platform are held in high regard and can experience the joy of making music with esteemed professionals.
Among the exceptional performers were three extraordinary students from Crawford International La Lucia.
Grade 11 student Weien Amy Luo mesmerized the crowd with her elegant rendition of Saint-Saens’ Piano Concerto No.5.
Xizhi Aiden Luo, a Grade 7 Preparatory student, showcased his dramatic prowess with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.19.
The youngest performer of the trio was Derren Hsu, a Grade 0 Pre-Primary student. His sweet rendition of Noona’s Little Concertino in C Major was a heartwarming reminder of the boundless potential of young musicians.
There was no doubt that these young performers had touched the hearts of the audience.
“The Durban Playhouse erupted with applause for all three of our talented students, and we are in awe of the talent that was on display.
“Congratulations has to also go to Mrs Philippa Greenwood, who is the piano teacher for all three students that graced the stage, and an outstanding teacher at that,” congratulated Crawford International La Lucia.
