On the evening of 19 December, UIC's Division of Culture and Creativity (DCC) held a multimedia concert as one of the 15th-anniversary celebration activities. The entire concert was jointly planned and organised by UIC students and faculty, presenting an audio-visual feast. The immersive concert took the audience on a trip down memory lane of UIC's 15-year development.
The concert integrated musical instrument performance with multimedia elements to show the beauty of art and technology. While playing the melodious music, combined with the UIC daily life and campus beautiful videos played on the screens, it brought the audience an immersive artistic experience. Before the concert, a video was played, which showed students, alumni and faculty members and expressed their blessings to the college.
In the programmes, the concert presented multiple forms and styles. From marimba to pipa, from folk song to rap, it echoed UIC's teaching characteristics of integrating ancient and modern, combining Chinese and Western cultures, and cultivating the whole person.
At the beginning of the concert, Lecturer of the Music Performance Programme and percussionist, Qiao Feng, performed. The song showed the marimba's pure tone with electronic music, creating a different flavour. Simultaneously, the 'All for One, One for All - The Happy Faces of UIC' video was played on the screen.
