This theme continues with Friendship Forever 《细水长流》, a touching song that reminisces about youthful aspirations and the enduring bonds of friendship. The lyrics reflect on shared experiences, from celebrating birthdays to supporting each other through life's ups and downs, capturing the essence of lasting companionship.

木の影 (Ki no Kage) further enriches the programme with its reflective qualities, drawing inspiration from nature and the interplay of shadows and light. The choir will then present Ubi Caritas, a moving piece that speaks to the importance of love and compassion in our lives.

The intriguing What is that I hear? invites the audience to ponder the sounds and meanings that surround us, leading into Wanting Memories (No. 4 from the song suite Crossings), a thoughtful composition that contemplates memory and emotion.

The uplifting Where the Light Begins encourages hope and the pursuit of positivity, while L'important C'est La Rose celebrates the simple joys of life and love through its charming melody.

The concert will culminate in the energetic Ta Na Solbici (And So We Dance in Resia), inviting both performers and audience to celebrate through movement and joy.
