SYNOPSIS

Dutch violinist Carla Leurs, concertmaster of the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra leads re:Sound in this concert celebrating three composers who shaped the world of music.

Featured on the programme is the exuberant West Side Story Suite arranged for solo violin and orchestra by Paul Bateman from the musical by Leonard Bernstein, Beethoven’s First Symphony which paid tribute to the classical symphonic masters Mozart and Haydn but also signalled the revolution that Beethoven was to bring to music.

The concert opens with Brahms’ Theme and Variations from the String Sextet op. 18, masterfully orchestrated for re:Sound’s strings by Tan Chan Boon.
