On the evening of Jul 26, a group of students had the opportunity to attend the Annual Music Recitals of Joe's Music and Dance Academy, hosted by the Major Music International Corporation.

The students had been eagerly anticipating the event for many reasons; it was their first chance to see for themselves one of the finest music halls in the metropolitan area, as well as to enjoy a night of various art forms.

The aesthetically pleasant surroundings of Le Frak Concert Hall's gave off a warm and welcoming feeling. Coupled with state of the art and cutting edge music equipment, it was evident that these instruments truly enhanced every piece of music performed by the students of Joe's Music and Dance Academy.

Chenghuai Zheng (Tim) of the Macau University of Science and Technology said, "Some of the students that were performing were very young, some of them were even younger than me. The talent they had was clear for all to see through the heart moving performance tonight." Since Tim is from overseas, during the performances, he noticed many cultural differences between his home country and America. Tim was surprised when everyone clapped even if the musical performance wasn’t perfect. “In China, people would only clap if every note was performed correctly, tonight people clapped after every performance, this was very interesting to me”, Tim exclaimed.

Tim was not the only one expressing those sentiments. Throughout the evening, the students applauded with much enthusiasm and agreed unanimously that it was an impressive showcase.

It was an evening of audio and visual delights for the students of Session B, and the music is sure to echo in their minds for a long time to come.
