As the Serenade Flows Ever On:
KCPO’s 2023 Farewell Party
Reported by:
Emily Kuok Yee Han Jr2Z(2)
With the array of activities held for the year coming to a swift end, Kuen Cheng
Philharmonic Orchestra (KCPO) held its annual farewell party on the 24th of August 2023,
serenading the parting members with one final refrain as they prepared to embark on their
respective journeys towards their glorious horizons.
After a jovial welcome from the emcees, the event began with farewell speeches and
well-wishes from the teacher-advisors and instructors. To quote Mr. Chan Ling Chee, the
orchestra’s resident conductor-cum-instructor, “Remember your duties as alumni, and learn to
not just receive, but also contribute.”
Thereafter came the highlight of the event—the interactive game session. The chosen
game was none other than the age-old classic staple of every celebration—musical chairs.
Tension possessed both the players and the spectators as the contenders dwindled and the
battle for the final seat grew increasingly intense. At last, gifts were awarded to the top three
winners and a commemorative group photo was taken.
