West Winds returns in another collaboration with the Esplanade, to bring
audiences on yet another journey through music. From Japan in 2008 to
Europe in 2009, West Winds returns to a region that is close to our hearts - Asia.
Asia is regarded by many as an eclectic yet charming mix of rich, diverse
and colorful cultures with this clearly reflected in our food and music.
This evening, West Winds will bring you across the eastern and northern
hemispheres of Asia, from China to Saudi Arabia. Audiences will get to
hear a musical representation of each Asian region from Alfred Reed’s
Armenian Dances Part 1 to our very own Postcard from Singapore written
by international and noteworthy composer, Philip Sparke.
Conducting the evening’s concert will be Major Philip Tng and Guest
Conductor, Mr. Ito Yasuhide. Mr. Ito is no stranger to Singapore and to
West Winds, having conducted them in the highly successful “All Things
Japanese” concert in 2008.
