Join the SWS this holiday season in a euphonious musical treat with newlyweds Steven & Misa Mead, as they share their love, laughter and incredible virtuosity on the Euphonium with us in the spirit of Christmas!
Englishman Steven Mead needs no introduction to brass enthusiasts as one of the greatest exponents of the Euphonium with an acclaimed solo career that sees him playing in 75 appearances around the world every year. He has given the premiere performances of over 500 major works by some of the wind band’s greatest composers. Born in Japan, multiple award-winning Euphonium soloist Misa Mead is not only a rising star, but is an accomplished composer whose music has been performed around the world. After tying the knot in March earlier this year, the talented duo has wowed audiences on an international performance tour, and decided to spend their first Christmas together with friends and music lovers in Singapore.
As a belated wedding gift, SWS composer-in-residence Terrence Wong presents a new work specially composed for Steven & Misa. As a special treat, Misa will perform as soloist on her new composition ‘Otemoyan Fantasy for Euphonium & Band’ to be given its world premiere here in Singapore! Also expect special guest appearances by SSO Principal Tuba Hidehiro Fujita, prominent local Euphonium players (Mark Glover) & (Kang Chun Meng) and a show stopping (and occasionally LOL funny) selection of virtuoso works and Christmas favourites that is guaranteed to put you in the best of holiday spirits!
‘Christmas with the Meads’ is happening on 20 December at the SOTA Concert Hall at 5pm
