The lights dimmed, and
the 2026 House Music Competition
of Harrow Shenzhen Lower School
officially began.
This year’s theme, “Legends & Icons” ,
was waiting to be brought to life
through every note.
Ricky Ware
Director of Music(Whole School)
Today, we celebrate talent, teamwork, and the power of music.
Six houses and hundreds of students,
spent weeks perfecting every harmony
and every movement. It was all for the moment
when, under the spotlight,
their house flag could soar high.
In the order of the draw, the six houses
took the stage one after another.
Let’s take a look at the highlights!

From song selection and choreography to vocal balance and eye contact, every detail reflected the children’s unique interpretation of “legends and icons.”
The judges carefully evaluated overall performance, creative arrangement, stage presence, team spirit, and audience engagement. The students’ wholehearted dedication made the judging incredibly challenging.
Champion — Curie House,
who struck the strongest note
through creativity and unity!
The music may have come to an end, but its passion lingers on. The House Music Competition has never been just about competition. It is an annual collective story, where children learn to listen, collaborate, take responsibility, and recognise their own light in the applause. Next year, at House Music 2027, we will continue telling the chapter of the story through melody.
