走进社区 回馈社会 Bringing Music into the Community
2026年2月23日，溫哥華曉平合唱團應邀前往Kerrisdale社區老年中心，參加農曆新年公益義演，為社區長者獻上了一場溫馨而精彩的演出。合唱團演唱了《Scarborough Fair》、《音樂之聲》組曲以及《茉莉花》等中外名曲。此次活動是合唱團首次走進社區的正式演出，以踐行我們「走進社區，回饋社會」的藝術使命。
整場活動氣氛熱烈歡快。除了華裔長者，不少西人長者也特意換上帶有中國元素的服飾，共同感受新春的喜慶。演出過程中，演員與觀眾親密互動，在歡快的排舞旋律中，許多長者紛紛起身共舞，連多位八十多歲的老奶奶也熱情參與。最後，在《恭喜恭喜》中英文雙語的歡快歌聲中，整場活動圓滿落幕。
Kerrisdale社區老年中心特別向曉平合唱團頒發了感謝獎狀，盛讚我們的演出具有專業水準，給社區帶來了高質量的藝術享受。活動結束後，長者們仍意猶未盡，交口稱讚當天的節目是他們節日聯歡中「最棒的一場」。一句「你們一定要再來」勝過萬語千言，也是對我們曉平合唱團藝術水平與社會責任感最真誠的褒獎。
On February 23, 2026, the Vancouver Xiaoping Chorus was invited to perform at the Kerrisdale Seniors Centre as part of a Lunar New Year outreach event, presenting a warm and joyful program for local seniors. The chorus performed several well-known Chinese and Western pieces, including Scarborough Fair, The Sound of Music (Choral Highlights), and Jasmine Flower. This event also marked the chorus’s first official community performance, reflecting its commitment to bringing music into the community and giving back through the arts.
The atmosphere was lively and festive. In addition to Chinese seniors, many non-Chinese attendees dressed in outfits with Chinese elements to join the celebration. The performers and audience interacted warmly throughout the program, and when the upbeat dance music began, many seniors – including several in their eighties – rose to their feet and joined the dancing. The event concluded with a joyful bilingual Chinese-English rendition of Gong Xi Gong Xi.
The Kerrisdale Seniors Centre presented the Xiaoping Chorus with a certificate of appreciation, praising the professional quality of the performance and the artistic enjoyment it brought to the community. Many seniors described it as “the best program” of their holiday celebration, warmly saying, “You guys must come again.”
新春祈福 New Year Blessings
在馬年春節期間，我們合唱團再次组织了一場精彩演出。正如我们團長所說：「有愛演的團員們，不愁不熱鬧。」團員們吹拉彈唱、載歌載舞，你方唱罷我登場，歡聲笑語此起彼伏，將融入血液中的音樂熱爱，在新春祈福中盡情釋放。
During the Spring Festival, our chorus organized another spectacular performance. As our director aptly put it: "With members who love to perform, there’s never a shortage of excitement." From singing and dancing to playing instruments, choir members took turns in the spotlight, creating waves of laughter and joy. That deep-rooted passion for music, was fully released in a heartfelt celebration of New Year blessings.
