On a joyful Thursday afternoon, the YCIS Qingdao community gathered to celebrate the season through music at our Christmas Concert, themed United Voices Embracing the Magic of Christmas.

From the opening performance, the space was filled with a festive and welcoming atmosphere.

Students from across year levels performed with confidence and enthusiasm, joined by teachers, parents, and performers from our sister campus. Together, they created a celebration that reflected the strong sense of unity within our community.

The programme featured a blend of orchestral, choral, Chinese dance and instrumental performances, alongside familiar Christmas melodies that filled the venue with yuletide cheer. Particularly meaningful were the moments when parents joined students on stage, reinforcing the feeling that this was truly a celebration shared by all.

A highlight of the concert was its rich multilingual and multicultural spirit. Performances in English, Korean, Russian, and Chinese showcased the diversity of our school, while reminding us that the message of Christmas — joy, kindness, and harmony — is shared across cultures. Younger students brought warmth and delight to the stage, while older students demonstrated collaboration and musical maturity.

As the final notes faded, the spirit of Noel lingered — a reminder that Christmas at YCIS Qingdao is about togetherness, shared joy, and celebrating as one community.
