dal segno 1825

SYNOPSIS

Resound Collective joins Chamber Music and Arts Singapore in the dal segno 1825 Chamber Orchestral Evening Concert this November.

This evening juxtaposes two works created in 1825 – young Mendelssohn’s greatly beloved String Octet, full of youthful energy and optimism for life, composed at the precocious age of 16, and Beethoven’s single-movement composition for string quartet, an incomprehensible and fiendish double fugue (here arranged for string orchestra) – both preceded by Mozart’s dramatic D minor Piano Concerto, a favourite of Beethoven’s which he kept in his performing repertoire.

PROGRAMME

Mozart
Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor K. 466 

Beethoven
Grosse Fuge Op. 133 for string orchestra
