ECHOES OF FIRE AND WATER
Through the permutations of three — a solo, duo and a trio — along with three musicians Yang Shuxiang, Leslie Tan and Churen Li, this concert explores how classical composers, such as Penderecki, Chopin, Poulenc, Wieniawski and Panufnik, triumphed over adversity through their musical compositions. By playing together and giving voice to the music of composers past, Alone Together connects us with those who have gone before us, expressing the zeitgeist of a different time and place.
Ensemble Æquilibrium (Singapore) In this contemporary concert, Echoes of Fire and Water explores our tenuous relationship with nature, the eternal cycle of destruction and renewal and our ultimate responsibility to sustain the planet for future generations.
23 May Sun, 3pm & 6pm Chamber, Festival House
The concert’s centrepiece features George Crumb’s haunting Eleven Echoes of Autumn, conjuring up a fragmented schism in the order of the world. Reflecting the themes of dissolution and regeneration, the programme also features works by Kaija Saariaho, Toru Takemitsu and Chen Zhangyi.
$15 1h No intermission
