The theme of this concert is 20th Century Modern music. Sometimes called the "Dissonant Period" of classical music, this period is known for its extreme inventiveness and experimentations in atonality. The NUS Wind Symphony will be presenting original modern band selections such as Internal Combustion by David R. Gillingham, and favourites like Les Miserables. Join us as we explore new frontiers and redefine the boundaries of music.
The NUS Wind Symphony will also be showcasing a stage band to fill the night with jazz selections. Consisting of trumpets, trombones, saxophones and a rythm section, the stage band will dazzle with their renditions of popular jazz tunes.
Come down and support us! Don't miss this rare opportunity to catch the premiere performance of the NUS Wind Symphony on the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay.
The InTempo concert series was initiated in 1974, and stands as the longest running band concert series in Singapore.
