SYNOPSIS

In celebration of 50 years of diplomatic relations between Singapore and the Republic of Korea, the Orchestra of the Music Makers presents One Melody: 하나의 선율.

Under the baton of Music Director Chan Tze Law, the evening begins with the world premiere of what the sea was whispering, a new work by Singaporean composer Jonathan Shin.

Renowned Korean pianist Kun-Woo Paik then takes the stage for Ravel’s brilliant Piano Concerto in G major, a sparkling blend of classical finesse and jazz-inspired rhythm. The concert closes with the sweeping drama of Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, reimagined for full orchestra in Schoenberg’s vivid and colourful orchestration.

Join us for an evening of musical celebration and friendship.
