On October 8th, the auditorium of Colegio Concepción was filled with music, emotion, and creativity during the first-ever Spring Talent Concert, an initiative that brought together students from different levels to share their musical talent with the school community in an artistic and bilingual environment. The event was organised by Ms. Verónica Cofré, Music teacher and Head of the Arts Department, together with Mr. Marcos Riveros, coordinator of the English Immersion Program, and was supported by the Parent and Guardians Association through the 2025 Funding Program. This activity marked an important milestone in our school’s educational project by combining music, and the use of English in an authentic and meaningful context.
The concert featured students from elementary to senior levels, who performed works by renowned classical and contemporary composers as well as original compositions. Through singing, piano, and violin performances, these young artists demonstrated not only their technical skill and expressiveness but also their passion for music and art.
Highlights of the event included performances of pieces such as Concerto in A Minor by Antonio Vivaldi, Divenire by Ludovico Einaudi, and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, among many others, offering the audience a high-level artistic experience.
During the event, Ms. Cofré shared the vision behind the project, highlighting the importance of providing students with real opportunities to grow and share their art. “This concert was born from the desire to offer our students a stage where they can express themselves, celebrate their effort, and bring classical music to our school community,” she said. Her words, filled with commitment and emotion, perfectly captured the spirit behind this project: creating real opportunities for students to grow, share their art, and strengthen the school’s cultural identity.
One of the most distinctive features of this event was the integration of English as the language of the concert. From the presentation of the program and scripts to interactions with the audience, English was used naturally and communicatively, reflecting the goals of the English Immersion Program. This experience allowed students to develop linguistic skills in a real, creative context beyond the classroom, strengthening their confidence and communicative competence.
The Spring Talent Concert was not only a space for artistic expression but also a moment to promote values such as collaboration, community, and mutual appreciation. The active participation of families, teachers, and school authorities was fundamental to the event’s success, highlighting the school community’s commitment to creating opportunities that combine art, language, innovation, and citizenship.
This project, which emerges as an innovative educational initiative within the framework of the English Immersion Plan, aims to become an annual tradition at Colegio Concepción, a stage where music, English, and student talent come together in a meaningful and inspiring experience for the entire school community.
