Solos were played by Olivia, on the piano: Eternal Light by Anan Ryoko, as well as a vocal performance of The Bird's Lament (No.1 from The Aviary) by Aashna, captivating the audience with her grace and emotion. Isobel and Lucy displayed their clarinet talents with a duet and a solo performance of Hackensackby Thelonious Monk, bringing a jazz element to the event. Samyucthaa's rendition of the piano solo, Berceuse, by Frank Bridge was lyrical and mature.
