Narrator: Guo Liang
Choir: Tanjong Katong Secondary School and Alumni Choir
Chorus Master: Nelson Kwei

Frequently read but seldom heard, well-loved Chinese literary classics are given a new dimension in this musical presentation by the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.

The love between Jia Bao Yu and Lin Dai Yu in Dream of the Red Chamber; the strategic warfare between Zhou Yu and Zhu Ge Liang in Romance of the Three Kingdoms; the sharp-witted Sun Wu Kong in Journey to the West; and the righteous gathering of men in Water Margin — the essence of these well-loved Chinese classics are masterfully presented and keenly felt through evocative Chinese orchestral music. This concert features works by one of China’s most influential composers Zhao Ji Ping and his compatriot Wang Li Ping, Hong Kong composer Chen Ning-chi and co-compositions by Singapore composer Law Wai Lun.

Conceptualised by Cultural Medallion recipient Tsung Yeh, music director and conductor of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra, this concert features renowned soprano Wang Qing Shuang, tenor Li Lie Gang, the Tanjong Katong Secondary School and Alumni Choir led by Nelson Kwei, and MediaCorp artiste Guo Liang as narrator.

Co-produced by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay and Singapore Chinese Orchestra.
