A Moveable Feast of Music
The Straits Times
|March 19, 2025
The opening concert of Yong Siew Toh (YST) Conservatory's Chamber Music Week was a tribute to 16th-century Venetian composer Giovanni Gabrieli (1557-1612).
CONCERT THE GABRIELI PROJECT CHAMBER MUSIC WEEK: OPENING GALA Yong Siew Toh Conservatory March 16
Curated by Red Dot Baroque (RDB) and its leader, Young Artist Award recipient Alan Choo, the 70-minute interactive concert with conservatory students attempted to transport the sounds of Basilica San Marco (St Mark's Cathedral) in Venice to the halls of the conservatory.
YST's broad vistas and high ceilings provided the right architecture that served Italian baroque antiphonal music to a tee. Claudio Monteverdi's Toccata from Orfeo with just four brass players and one drummer filled the capacious foyer with the very resonance that would define the entire concert.
