Classiques! at Esplanade will see Resident Conductor Adrian Chiang leading the Philharmonic Youth Winds through a programme of wind literature encompassing vigour, energy and passion.
Philharmonic Youth Winds will be performing Samuel L. Hazo’s Ride, an “exhilaratingly fun piece for any band to play”, as well as David Gillingham’s critically acclaimed Concerto for Horn and Symphonic Band featuring horn player Lewis Poh from The Philharmonic Winds and Singapore Armed Forces Central Band.
Singapore Symphony Orchestra cellist Chan Wei Shing takes to the stage in Johan de Meij’s Casanova for Cello and Wind Orchestra, for which the Dutch composer received a First Prize at the International Composition Competition of Corciano, Italy in 1999.
Also on the lineup is Equus, an excellent demonstration of “dynamic minimalism” and a “virtuosic show piece for winds”, by renowned composer Eric Whitacre, guest conducted by Tay Kai Tze of The Philharmonic Winds.
In commemoration of Gustav Mahler’s 150th birth anniversary, the concert will end with the Finale from Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 in D major, arranged for wind orchestra by Hardy Mertens.
