## YCIS Christmas Concert 2020

 

This year our Christmas concert is a very special occasion as it is a full year since we last performed together at **YCIS HK**. The concert has been recorded and available for parents and our community for viewing.

 

With minimal rehearsal and much improvisation to make this possible, **YCIS HK** presents a wonderful programme of choral, instrumental music and dance. In addition, there is a traditional reading of the Christmas message.

Jeremy Williams

# Music Director YCIS, YWIES
