Cityscapes - Postcard pictures painted in sound

Expect an aural journey through different cities, modern and ancient, seen through the eyes of top wind composers in this accessible and exciting concert.

Led by Thai conductor Surapol Thanyawibool, one of Asia's most respected experts in wind music, The Philharmonic Winds will perform works like Adam Gorb's Midnight in Buenos Aires, which portrays the combination of darkness, violence, mystery and seductive passion that is intrinsic to tango, Argentina's national dance.

Fall in love with the capital of romance in Martin Ellerby's Paris Sketches, a four-movement work that depicts aspects of the city - from the bohemian Saint-Germain-des-Prés to Père Lachaise, one of the most famous cemeteries in the world.

The Philharmonic Winds' guest for the evening, Nontri Orchestra Wind, will present works under Thanyawibool's direction, including an original Thai composition. The wind orchestra, comprising music graduates of Bangkok's Kasetsart University and other professional musicians, will join the hosts to perform Satoshi Yagisawa's Machu Picchu, a gorgeous symphonic work reminiscent of a film score depicting the grandeur of "The Lost City of the Incas".

Tickets are at $15, $20, $25, $35, $50.
Available at all SISTIC authorised agents.

Greetings!
Promoting another great concert!



Enjoy works such as Little Suite for Band, Memorias de un hombre de ciudad and the pasadoble, El Torico de la Cuerda, in Alarcon's first-ever appearance in Singapore.

Prodigious Chinese cellist Qin Li-Wei joins the wind orchestra in Alarcon's melancholic solo piece for cello and band,
Tramonto, which evokes a beautiful Italian sunset. The celebrated cellist has won many awards and prizes, including the First Prize in the prestigious 2001 Naumburg Competition and the Young Australian of the Year Award in 2002.

Come and be part of this Spanish Fantasia!

I reckon you guys to go for this concert as I feel the pieces played are pretty interesting, and having pieces coming from a culture that is so rich, this might be a whole new listening experience.

If you are interested, give your names to Dennis and he will collate it for me. Alternatively, you can just head down to any SISTIC outlet and make your purchase there. Or another alternative would be for you to text me via SMS (ask around for my number).

*I am not so sure if you are able to enjoy the 60% TOTE Board Arts Fund to subsidise your ticket price (meaning you will only have to pay 40% - Do the Math!). Try to check with Miss Lim.

Hope to see a large number of you going for this concert!
See you!

Remember, being exposed to good performances will help you improve musically (as in how you would interpret a music). AND watch music-making right in front of your very eyes!
