Synopsis

Immerse yourself in a vibrant musical experience with the Methodist Girls’ School (MGS) Guitar and String ensembles. The MGS Guitar Ensemble will take you on a dynamic music experience with pieces such as the energetic and highly rhythmic Jounetsu and the nostalgic Aladdin Medley together as well as heartfelt renditions of Bunga Sayang and Moon Represents My Heart. The ensemble will also be accompanied by the sounds of the tambourine and glockenspiel, providing a richer sound with added texture.

 

The MGS String Ensemble’s repertoire includes string duets, octets and ensemble pieces including the evocative Passacaglia and Holberg Suite alongside local composer Kelly Tang’s Three Folk Dances which honours Singapore’s cultural heritage.

 

The performances in Cool Classics 2025 will spotlight local composers and arrangers, highlighting their contributions to classical music in Singapore. The local composer featured in this programme is Kelly Tang.
