For years, Emily Hao has poured her heart and soul into MLC Music. Her dedication, tireless practice, and immense talent deserve recognition on a grand stage. Emily has worked painstakingly, sacrificing countless hours and personal moments to hone her craft and contribute to the music community.

Emily's journey is one of passion and perseverance. She has been an integral part of MLC Music, inspiring others with her musical prowess and commitment. Yet, despite her significant contributions, she has not been given the opportunity to perform a concerto- despite her continuous sacrifices, such as Serenity String Quartet (eg. moving her Literature ATAR assessment for an external performance), participation in Symphony Orchestra since Year 7 and Symphony Strings (since its inception), 2025 European Music Tour, and is an incredibly hard working student and dedicated Muso who has left an immense, positive, impact on the hearts of many fellow musicians.

Offering Emily a concerto performance is not only a recognition of her efforts but a celebration of the spirit of dedication and passion she embodies. It's just 5 minutes of an evening, yet it would mean the world to Emily and those who have watched her journey with admiration. 

We urge MLC Music to acknowledge Emily Hao's hard work and sacrifices by providing her the stage she rightly deserves. This opportunity would not only honour her achievements but inspire countless emerging artists- especially with an under-represented instrument like the viola. Sign this petition to support Emily Hao's well-deserved moment in the spotlight and ensure her contributions are celebrated.
