OMM Raises Roof With Holst and Stravinsky
The Straits Times
|July 14, 2025
When it comes to orchestral blockbusters, it is hard to beat the Orchestra of the Music Makers (OMM).
CONCERT THE PLANETS. RITE OF SPRING Orchestra of the Music Makers Esplanade Concert Hall July 11
The Singapore Symphony Orchestra plays monumental works too, but these are spread over the course of a full year. OMM has just four to five concerts annually, thus it offers super-sized meals to digest at each sitting.
From past experiences with works by Gustav Mahler, Richard Wagner and Leonard Bernstein, local listeners have been totally up for them.
OMM's latest concert, led by American conductor Tito Munoz, music director of the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra (Arizona), featured two great and influential classics of the early 20th century.
English composer Gustav Holst's The Planets (1917), which has greatly impacted modern movie scores, opened the show.
