The Seasons
Organised by: Singapore International Festival of MusicPerformed by: ensemble 1B1, SIFOM Orchestra
Synopsis:
Spend the evening with one of Norway's best chamber orchestras – known affectionately as 1B1. This progressive string ensemble will bring with them an evergreen work – the Holberg Suite – by their country's most famous composer, Edvard Grieg. Grieg's music will be cleverly interspersed by the sensuous and electrifying tangos of Astor Piazzolla and the equally evocative and descriptive The Four Seasons by Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi.
1B1 will work with four of Singapore's most gifted violinists, who will each take turns to share the stage with our Norwegian friends in Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. This evening's concert will be preceded by a pre-concert performance of excerpts from Wagner's opera, The Flying Dutchman, and will feature Singapore's grand dame of opera Nancy Yuen with the SIFOM Orchestra.
