Da Capo 2010


The time of the year has arrive. The NUS Wind Symphony will once again be presenting to you our annual concert: Da Capo.

The theme of this concert is European, and we will be featuring a host of music from different cultures. From the feisty Spanish rhythms of "El Camino Real" to the catchy tempo of the Irish "Riverdance", the band will have you tapping and swaying to the music. The Wind Symphony will also be playing "A Grand Grand Overture" by Malcolm Arnold, well-known for being one of music's most celebrated practical joke. With an added cast of three vacuum cleaners and a floor polisher, we promise a night of grandiose mayhem and unexpected hilarity. So join us as we bring you on a whirlwind tour of European culture, music and experiences that you will never forget.
