Christmas concert at the DISD

After a three-year break, the traditional DISD Christmas concert finally took place again on Wednesday evening at the German International School Dubai in Academic City. Under the direction Head of the DISD music department with Ms. Hafner, Ms. Halushko, Ms. Fleury, Mr. Teixeira and Dr. Wafi, the primary school choir, the 5th grade, the student band, the secondary school choir and the teachers' choir delighted around 400 visitors. The colorful program was led by high school graduates Layan Fayyad and Seraa Eid.

The primary school choir opened the concert with "Morgen Kinder wird's was geben!". During the song "Singen wie im Schein der Kerze", tea lights lit up the stage. The children provided plenty of entertainment with their song "In the Christmas bakery", which they performed dancing with kitchen utensils.

By the time the teachers' choir performed the songs "Weihnachtszeit" and "Jingle Bells" in an oversized sleigh, the concert hall was filled with Christmas spirit. The 5th graders sang "Feliz Navidad" and wished "Merry Christmas" in the choir. Together, all the children, parents and staff sang "We wish you a merry christmas" and DISD principal Michael Lummel sang "December again..." with music teacher Valentyna Haluschko, supported by deputy principal Dr. Sammy Wafi on the violin and music teacher Carlos Teixeira on the piano.

The school band with Lara Gutmann on drums, Saif Zaidi on electric guitar and singer Hala Hassan received thunderous applause. The band rocked the hall with songs including "Snowman" by Sia. The concert came to a great end with the collectively sung song "Santa Clause is coming to town".
