Immerse yourselves in memories of yesteryears, and join us by humming along to two pop gems from the Beatles – "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude", and well-known Japanese folk song “Tsubasa Wo Kudasai” (Please Give Me Wings) originally released by Akai Tori in 1971. Satisfy your hunger for nostalgia by listening out for the lush sounds of “An American in Paris” – an attempt to depict the buzz of Paris in the 1920s. Be further enthralled by the relaxing sounds of swing and jazz characteristics of the 1930s and 1940s ("In The Miller Mood"). The concert won’t be complete without selections from two landmark musicals – “West Side Story” and “The Phantom of the Opera”.
