Synopsis

We tell stories about other worlds to help ourselves reckon with the world we live in now. From myths that grapple with the paradoxes of the human condition, to traditions that provide a form of escape in times of distress, the music on this programme explores the power of music to fire our imaginations and convey salient messages about our times.

 

Join pianist Abigail Sin and violinist Yang Shuxiang for this thrilling programme of music and storytelling!

Fauré – Après un rêve (After A Dream) for violin and piano

She is the co-founder of the More Than Music concert series in Singapore, which has won acclaim for its engaging, innovative presentation of classical chamber music.

Abigail is currently on the academic faculty of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music in Singapore.

Yang Shuxiang

Singaporean violinist Yang Shuxiang play-directs the re:Sound Chamber Orchestra while maintaining solo and chamber music appearances across Asia, Europe, and North America. His emotionally charged (or, as one critic puts it, hair-raising) performances have been witnessed at festivals and concert series such as the Singapore International Festival of Arts, Chamber Music and Arts Singapore, More than Music, Kris Foundation, Siam Society, Macau Arts Festival, Cremona Music Festival, and Perlman Music Program. Besides performing, Yang serves as Artist Faculty at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory (National University of Singapore) and Instructor at the School of the Arts.
