Celebrating Our 20th Anniversary with Glorious Music
This December we were treated to brilliant musical performances from our Dulwich Pudong choristers and musicians as part of the 20th Anniversary Winter Concerts.
Winter Choral Concert
From the opening notes of Joy to the World by the Brass Ensemble to the Gaudete delivered by our combined choirs for the finale, the evening was filled with highlights and magical moments. Twelve choirs - comprising over 300 Dulwich choristers - took part in front of a packed house of parents and staff lifting us up through the combined power of their voices.

Winter Ensemble Concert
The Winter Ensemble Concert was a tour de force which swept us through different musical styles and eras. Our musicians put their talents on display masterfully presenting pieces from the traditional Hungarian Rhapsody to an African holiday carol to Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. Nine ensembles performed on the evening featuring over 200 Dulwich musicians.
The audience was also delighted by the surprise guest appearance of our Head of College delivering the traditional reading of The Night Before Christmas alongside the Brass Ensemble.
