Young musicians flex in weekend concerts
The Straits Times
|June 02, 2025
If one needed another reminder of what young musicians in Singapore can achieve, just look to last weekend's pair of concerts featuring Ventus, Band Academy Singapore and Orchestra of the Music Makers (OMM) performing at the School of the Arts.
CONCERT TUTTI - AN SG60 SYMPHONIC CELEBRATION Ventus & Band Academy Singapore School of the Arts Concert Hall May 30 SONGS WITHOUT WORDS Orchestra of the Music Makers School of the Arts Concert Hall May 31
The May 30 concert featured wind orchestra Ventus (58 players) and Band Academy Singapore (32 students) in a tribute to all things Singaporean, with nine works by seven local composers.
Shared by three conductors Clive Choo, Joseph Teo and Adrian Chiang — it opened rousingly, with the world premiere of Germaine Goh's Winds Of Tomorrow, a striding march filled with optimism and hope.
The concert had a maritime theme, with two tone poems by Benjamin Yeo exploring that aspect of local history and folklore. Voyage To The End Of The Earth recounted the pioneering spirit of sailors, while Redhill used the pelog scale to evoke Malay music before the legendary battle scene between swordfish and humans.
