The InTempo concert series was initiated in 1974, and stands as the longest running band concert series in Singapore. Unsurprisingly, the InTempo concert series commands a profound degree of repute, prestige and recognition in Singapore’s band scene.
For InTempo ’10, the wind orchestra will take on works bearing a Russian theme. Join us as we showcase the immense music prowess of one of Russia’s most celebrated composers, Dmitri Shostakovich. From his historically-significant and era-defining Symphony No. 5, the subtle political message in Festive Overture, to his immaculate references of his other works in Jazz Suite No. 2 – the music capabilities of Shostakovich is impossible to overlook. The works of two members of “The Five” will also be featured – Alexander Borodin’s score to the opera, Prince Igor, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. The latter, based upon stories from the famed anthology, One Thousand and One Nights (often known as Arabian Nights) is arguably the best known expression of Russian musical orientalism, and undoubtedly his best known work. Listen out for his undisputed flair in inventing a sophisticated cachet of orchestral effects.
