On 10 January 2026, the celebration of passion, intense training and effort was welcomed – Euphonia : A Heartful Harmony. Bina Bangsa School has always taken pride in the talents of its students and provides opportunities where young minds can express themselves through holistic learning as they continue to excel in their academics and this year’s orchestra concert is another example of this.
After a warm welcoming remark from Mr Fredrick Laurente, the Principal of BBS Secondary and Junior College department, the first part of the main program began. Mr Agung and Mr Fauzi started off the program by playing a beautiful violin and viola duet featuring a Disney Medley.
Then the next song featured the Battle of the Voice Winner, Ethania and the Teachers String Quartet as they performed “Selalu Ada di Nadimu” from the local film phenomenon “Jumbo”.
Next, the Wind Ensemble played “Happy” by Pharrell Williams with their elegant and harmonious duet. This was followed by a special performance of the graduating class of JC2 presenting a Ghibli Medley, followed by “Iris” by the Goo Goo dolls. Shortly thereafter, the JC1 string ensemble were welcomed on stage to perform a medley of Queen’s greatest hits.
Then, the Piano and Flute duo, Cleon and Naoki, along with the Sec 1 and 2 Orchestra performed “River Flows in You” by Yiruma. Ending the first part of the program, the orchestra along with Clement of JC1 performed a saxophone solo of “What a Wonderful World”.
After a short transition, the orchestra was welcomed on stage to showcase their passion, effort, and countless hours of training. Together the orchestra performed the songs “Golden Hour”, “Fix You”, “A Thousand Miles”, and “ Take On Me”.
To end the afternoon’s concert, a special performance was prepared – a creative collaboration with the Performing Arts Club lead by Mr Aep. Together they performed the viral songs “Golden” and “Your Idol”, celebrating the fusion of music and movement.
Following the performance, the contribution and hardwork of the orchestra members, their coaches, and the student crew and production staff were acknowledged during the curtain call.
The event concluded with the timeless words from Psalm 92: 1, ”It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High”.
All in all, a pleasant afternoon was enjoyed by all. Needless to say, BBS Bandung is looking forward to another musical performance next school year.
