DSS Recap A Concert Series Like No Other By Ja Wuttithamrong, Director of Community Advancement & VOICES Chief Editor It had been months in the making, and when it finally all came together, it was pure bliss. We are talking about Ivy Education Group’s recently concluded “Music Under the Stars”. For the first time ever, we hosted not one, but THREE incredible musical ensembles in one year…all hailing from Harvard University and Yale University! It all began on Mother’s Day Sunday, May 13th, when Yale’s all-cello rock ensemble Low Strung spoke and performed at our Ivy Schools in Tianjin. For many children and their parents, they had never witnessed nine cellists playing together in such perfect harmony, and with such passion. Low Strung also performed for the Beijing community on Tuesday May 15th for the first of our series “Music Under the Stars”. The concept? Just wonderful music performed outdoors, “under the stars” at our intimate Daystar/Ivy Sanlitun campus. And even though the rain forced us indoors half-way through the show, it was still a completely magical and memorable evening. An Ivy Education Group Publication
