Ketua Penyelenggara Mini Concert, Itte Yulita mengatakan konsep konser mini berbasis pada Western Art-Music atau klasik dan Conservatory yang merupakan pelatihan musik untuk level universitas, yang mewajibkan siswa untuk menampilkan kebolehannya di hadapan sesama murid, guru dan orang tua siswa.

"Siswa disiapkan untuk menunjukkan kebolehannya di hadapan guru melalui pertunjukan konser sesuai tingkatan sekolah untuk ujian atau pun tampil di depan audiens," kata Itte Yulita kepada pers di sela konser mini APIMS di Jakarta, Minggu siang (25/11).

APIMS memiliki tradisi konser mini untuk mempertunjukkan kemampuan siswa, kata Itte, sesuai tingkatannya di APIMS. Pencapaian kemampuan terbaik tentu membutuhkan kesabaran, kerja keras disertai banyak berlatih.

"Konser mini ini tidak didisain menjadi kontes atau kompetisi tapi semacam festival mini bagi siswa di depan penonton sekaligus kesempatan untuk menunjukkan hasil latihan kepada audiens yang disambut aplaus penonton," ungkap Itte.

Siswa APIMS tampil dalam konser mini tersebut menampilkan piano, gitar, biola drum dan flute. Sementara lagu yang dibawakan antara lain Winter Games karya David Foster, We Will Never Ever Together yang dipopulerkan Taylor Swift, All I Ask of You dari Phantom of the Opera, Sonata in F minor, Op. 2 No.1: 1st Movement karya Bethoven dan Minuet No.1 "Allegro" karya Johan Sebastian Bach serta When You Believe yang dipopulerkan Mariah Carey dan Whitney Houston.
