SYNOPSIS
From the standings of a small orchestra to a well-respected music organisation that has grown to include different extensions such as a traditional and gamelan ensemble, a percussion and pop ensemble, as well as a youth wing, the Orkestra Melayu Singapura (OMS) continues to preserve and promote Malay music in Singapore.
Celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, OMS will be staging its best performance yet, with a stellar concert that extends well beyond an auditory experience. Under the directorship of Amri Amin, Jendela will be a vision of inspiration through five themic windows of music. Produced by Muhammad Najib Soiman, the concert attests to the orchestra’s versatility and virtuosity as a whole, while illustrating the eclectic mix of musical talents that have been nurtured by it through the years.
Performing original arrangements such as Rentak 2000, Eastern Vibes, and Arts Crossing, the orchestra will also play a selection of traditional, fusion, and pop numbers that will underscore their musical proficiency.
Also taking to the stage are special guests - Malaysian '80s pop sensation Aishah local hip hop group SleeQ and Singapore’s very own world instrumental musicians OrkeStar Trio, two of whom started their music journey with OMS.
