Synopsis

Embark on a musical adventure that moves between legend, nostalgia, fantasy, and fun. This dynamic programme by the Temasek Wind Ensemble showcases the incredible range of the wind band, from bold cinematic soundscapes inspired by myth and epic storytelling, to music drawn from beloved films, anime, musicals, and pop culture. Audiences will journey through vibrant musical worlds, with soaring heroic themes, moments of lyrical beauty, electrifying rhythms, and even a touch of playful humour. Along the way, smaller ensembles highlight the artistry within the band. A delicate woodwind feature brings a moment of lyrical charm, while a spirited percussion showcase reimagines a familiar classical melody in an unexpected way. The programme also spotlights the expressive voice of the saxophone in a heartfelt solo feature. Filled with colour, imagination, and energy, this concert celebrates music’s power to transport us, whether to distant worlds, cherished memories, or simply an evening of joy and surprise.

 

Bringing the arts to communities in need through Limelight

Half of the ticket proceeds will go toward supporting Esplanade’s community engagement programmes which bring the arts to at-risk youth, the elderly, people with special needs and other underserved communities.

Artist Information

Temasek Wind Ensemble

The Temasek Wind Ensemble (TWE) is one of Temasek Secondary School’s long-standing co-curricular activities, bringing together students with a shared passion for music-making. Under the direction of Music Director Mr Ong Yeow Tong, an alumnus of the school, and Mr Chua Zhihao, the ensemble provides a supportive environment where students grow both musically and personally.

 

Through a structured programme of rehearsals and performances, members develop their instrumental skills, musical understanding, and confidence as performers. Beyond technical training, the band places strong emphasis on teamwork, discipline, and leadership, encouraging students to support one another and take pride in the collective music-making process.
