上海青浦区协和双语学校第第二届第2场“崧泽清声”才艺秀，一叶知秋，片霜进冬，2nd APC CONCERT OF THE YEAR Cross-Grade Artistic Performance Corner。
PART ONE
崧泽清声才艺秀不仅是一场汇聚了美术和音乐艺术的交流与碰撞的活动，同时也为学生、家长和校外嘉宾提供了一个享受和欣赏艺术的空间。让一年级到十二年级有音乐专项特长的学生，有机会纵向来了解音乐的学习过程，正是这循序渐进的过程使学生们能像今天这样自信地站在舞台上，展示他们的才能。同样，从一年级到八年级的美术特长学生也通过他们的出色作品来向我们展示了他们的绘画与创作的才华。
The APC is an event that brings together and communicates art and music by offering students, parents, and external guests a regular space for enjoyment and admiration. Music students from Grades 1 to 12 have the opportunity to demonstrate the progress of their musical studies that has led them to develop the defined motor and interpretive skills they currently possess. Likewise, art students from first to eighth grade are able to describe the motor, observational, and creative skills they have been cultivating until now.

在我们为学生们在表演和展示他们的艺术作品时所呈现出的喜悦与热情而骄傲时，也不禁明白了：当孩子们理解了大概念，也就激发了他们会去追问“艺术是什么？”从而不断获得艺术的成长。艺术能力的培养和体育运动相似，需要有高度的自律、耐心、努力、奉献、毅力和专注力。能够一起参与到这群才华出众的学生们的艺术成长过程中，成为其中的一份子来欣赏支持他们，真的是一种非常美妙的感觉！
What an honour it is to see the enthusiasm, joy, and respect that these students exhibit during the act of performing and displaying their artistic work. Through an understanding of the big concept, we now know what inspires students to ask, “What is art?” The cultivation of artistic skills requires high discipline, patience, effort, dedication, perseverance, and attention. It is wonderful to be a part of this formative process that is so important in the lives of these talented students.
PART THREE
不管作品和技巧之间的水平差异是如何，所有参与演出的学生们都做了充分的准备来诠释和演绎今天的艺术作品。小小钢琴家们在独奏中，各自述说着他们的故事; 长笛与竹笛的相互碰撞，擦出独特的火花; 帅气的街舞与的柔美的民族舞映入眼帘，各美其美。小小画家们尝试着用流利的英文去介绍艺术作品的创作灵感与思路，赢得了满堂喝彩。
Regardless of the differences in levels among the pieces and technical skills, all the students involved were well-prepared to interpret and perform today’s works of art. The pianists, singers, and interpreters of other instruments like the guzheng and the guitar told their stories with their solo performances. The contrast between the western concert flute and the Chinese bamboo flute created a unique spark. Different dance styles, like the lately increasingly popular hip hop and the Chinese traditional dance, impacted the audience with their diverse yet striking beauty. The young painters prepared with enthusiasm and hard work the presentation of their creative inspirations and ideas in fluent English, winning the audience's applause.
PART FOUR
本场演出我们邀请到了来自小学部的孟倩如老师、中学部的孙晶老师和高中部的Mr. Michael Feigl三位音乐老师为大家带来了音乐剧《西区故事》中的“Tonight”作为压轴节目。这是APC的一个传统环节，老师们同台的倾情演绎不仅让在场学生们感受到艺术是平等，而且能让学生切身的感受到榜样的力量，在艺术道路上不断地探索和前行。
For this particular APC performance, we invited three music teachers -- Ms. Martina from our primary school, Ms. Joyce from our middle school, and Mr. Michael from our high school -- to perform “Tonight,” one of the most famous numbers from the musical West Side Story, as the finale. As an APC tradition, we will always attempt to organize a performance from some of our music teachers. Through their participation on stage, we hope to foster in students the feeling that art is for all, big and small. We also want to motivate them to continue to do their best through the stimulation and example their teachers give, so that they keep exploring and moving forward on the road of art.
愿每一位孩子都能插上一双艺术的翅膀，将艺术的热请转化为学习的动力，不断探索艺术赋予的灵性与美感并在学习艺术的过程中收获幸福感。
We hope that every child can attach a pair of artistic wings to their lives, turning their warmth into the motivation to learn, practice, and constantly explore the spirituality and beauty endowed by art.
