The New Century School knows how to put on a show. This year’s Spring Concert allowed the audience to rediscover this proven fact in the most celebratory way imaginable. It was a community effort—they all are—but TNCS music teacher Josee Molavi’s presence and influence were happily evident. She brings such joy to making music, and that joy is infectious. Her students give it all they’ve got, and that makes for an all-around good time. The theme was, well, spring—with all of the change and hope that season signifies.
As mentioned, though, it is a community effort, and the stage and auditorium decorations, student costumes, and all the behind-the-scenes planning and effort really paid off. From Cui Laoshi and Liu Laoshi’s Chinese selections to Sr. Fedé’s arcade art to the brunch provided by Chef John Moomau, the entire staff lent their talents to making this show a true show-stopper! Oh, and let’s not forget the Facilities Team! And Head of School Ann Marie Simonetti who makes every TNCS occasion special!
With that, enjoy these audio and video selections recorded during the show!
