Kick-start the New Year and celebrations of Singapore’s 50th year of independence with Braddell Heights Symphony Orchestra (BHSO) as they present “JOY!” – Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. As Singapore’s longest-serving community orchestra, BHSO will begin this musical journey through time with Overture in C – The Story of Singapore, composed by Cultural Medallion recipient and local jazz legend Jeremy Monteiro. The overture, which contains a line from the well-loved national song, One People, One Nation, One Singapore, tells the story of Singapore’s transformation from a sleepy fishing village to the modern city that it is today.
The concert will culminate in Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor, best known for its theme Ode to Joy, which continues to inspire hope and joy around the world. The 80-strong orchestra, comprising primarily of amateur musicians with a passion for music, will be conducted by music director and conductor, Adrian Tan. They will be accompanied by soloists and The Joy Chorale led by chorus mistress, Khor Ai Min.
This event is happening on Sunday, 25 January at 5pm at the Esplanade Concert Hall.
