7:30pm, Victoria Concert Hall
Two of Singapore’s most colourful pianists join re:Sound in this colourful celebration of world music. Francis Poulenc’s brilliant Concerto for Two Pianos is unmistakably French, yet makes reference to other great music influences such as Mozart and the gamelan music of Bali.
Cultural Medallion Winner Eric Watson’s Arabesque for Flute, inspired by the ornamental designs that can be seen in many examples of ancient Islamic art and composed for re:Sound will make its world premiere in this concert.
Rounding off this evocative programme is Ravel’s memorial to the great baroque composer Couperin, beautifully orchestrated in a neo-classical / impressionist style.
