Journey: St. Mary's International School 2024 Spring Choral Concert

Описание: Journey: The song selection in this particular spring choral concert reflects on life's journey (hence the title). One song in particular, “Umi Sono Ai”, has been performed at our high school graduation for over three decades and tells of a man who goes to the ocean to reflect upon his life. Though the retreat of each wave may reflect his failures, a new wave of hope soon appears. The ocean offers a remembrance, a conviction that all those we have touched, and all those with whom we have interacted in life’s journey, combine to chart a course for a better tomorrow. We wish the best for our seniors as they embark on the next chapter of their lives.
