Event's History
The MFAA Faculty Concert has a short but meaningful history. It was first introduced in 2019, with the intention of becoming an “Annual Spring Event”. Due to the challenges posed by the pandemic, the concert had to adapt. Over the past two years, the MFAA team made the decision to host the faculty concerts online, ensuring that the beautiful music could still reach the students, parents, and the broader arts community even through the constraints of the pandemic.
This year, with the combined efforts of the MFAA teachers and administrative team, this exceptional event was live and enjoyed in person, displaying the immense talent and diversity of music styles of both the MFAA faculty and students.
