Elder Conservatorium: Rhapsody
23 October @ 1:10 pm - 2:00 pm ACDT

The Elder Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra take to the stage under the baton of Lien Boon Hua from the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, National University of Singapore. Be immersed in a bustling nocturnal marketplace with Jonathan Shin’s The Night Bazaar, between commotion and reflection, and fleeting moments in a city after dark. The sound world of Debussy then takes over, with Gordon Richter performing the popular Première rhapsodie. A cornerstone of the clarinet repertoire, Debussy declared it as one of the most pleasing pieces he had written. . Through sharply etched orchestration and dramatic contrasts, Britten’s Four Sea Interludes capture the sea’s beauty and menace, making the suite one of his most powerful orchestral works.
