Singapore, 17 July 2019 (Wednesday) – Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) chamber music concert Music Tuesdays: Ballad and Dance wows audiences with 4 pieces of music which will be performed in Singapore for the very first time. Meticulously planned and crafted by SCO Huqin musician Yuan Qi, together with SCO musicians, they will be performing on 23 July 2019 (Tuesday), 7.30pm, at the SCO Concert Hall.

First launched in 2018, Music Tuesdays is a series of concerts held on Tuesday nights for audience to experience an intimate chamber concert with colleagues and friends to gather and chill out after a work day.

Out of the five works, four will be performed in Singapore for the very first time, namely: Probe the West Wind, Cloud Herding, Breathe II and Like A Song and Dance. Yuan Qi, the programme curator said: “In this concert, every instrument plays an important role and every musician has a lot to deliver. The process of performing is very interesting; the synergy between the different musicians and their instruments, and the collision of music will bring forth inspirations and sparks! I look forward to the dialogue between the musicians and the portrayal of the compositions, and hopefully the audiences can anticipate an exciting performance.”

Probe the West Wind, composed by Zhou Juan, is a trio bagatelle music piece written for the Erhu, Gaoyin Sheng, and Double Bass, which will be performed by Yuan Qi, Kevin Cheng Ho Kwan and Zhang Hao. Cloud Herding will be performed by Lee Jun Cheng (Dizi), Yuan Qi (Erhu), Han Ying (Zhongruan) and Zhong Zhiyue (Guqin). Breathe II will be conducted by SCO’s Assistant Conductor Moses Gay, performed by Yuan Qi (Erhu), Lee Jun Cheng (Dizi), Kevin Cheng Ho Kwan (Sheng), Zhang Yin (Pipa) and Qu Jianqing (Yangqin). Last but not least, Like a Dance fromfrom the second movement of Like A Song and Dance will be performed by Yuan Qi (Erhu), Zhang Yin (Pipa), Qu Jianqing (Yangqin) and Han Ying (Zhongruan).
