NUS Chinese Orchestra has the honour to collaborate with
renowned Hong Kong composer Mr. Chen Ning-chi (陈能济) in an exclusive
concert featuring the works of Mr. Chen. Headlining the concert
will be symphonic poem The Battle of Chibi《赤壁》, which recently made
its world premiere with the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. NUSCO will
be performing the Singapore premiere of The Battle of Chibi. Mr.
Chen has been a prolific composer for deca...des, and produced numerous classics
along the way, including the popular Hong Kong musical Tales of
Walled City《城寨风情》, Becoming a Butterfly in a Dream 《梦蝶》 and The
Legend of the Dragon《龙的传奇》, all of which will be played at the
concert.
The Battle of Chibi presents a unique sound tapestry fused together
by the sounds of the guqin, Song Dynasty lyrics, and Suzhou pingtan
that is sure to awe many in the audience. The epic scale of the
piece, together with its rich historical background of the Three
Kingdoms era, makes this performance a must-watch event in the 2011
music calendar.
Mr. Chen Ning-chi would be giving a preconcert talk about his
compositions here in Singapore, in addition to the concert. This
rare opportunity is in line with the NUSCO mission of educating the
public about Chinese Orchestral music. The NUSCO Annual Concert
2011 promises to be at once a musical extravaganza and an
educational journey rolled into one.
