Shaping an electrifying show for ChildAid's 8th edition

 
 

From playing classical music with a twist to executing high-energy dance moves, some 200 youth will fire up the stage for the eighth edition of charity concert ChildAid.

The performers, aged 19 and below at the start of the year, were selected through an open call for entries and auditions and by invitation.

They are backed by an experienced creative and production team, who will shape the concert around this year's theme: The Electric Edition.

Mr Jeremiah Choy, show director for ChildAid for the second consecutive year, said the creative team had deliberately juxtaposed different genres and styles, for instance, rappers together with an orchestra. He said the audience can expect an "evocative, eclectic and electrifying event".
