British Journeys, the Voice of a City, Nature and the Universe: three themes in the Singapore Symphony’s 2019/20 season

-

This season, the Singapore Symphony continues its exploratio­n of British Journeys in music, as part of the bicentenni­al of its modern founding. The music of composers such as Haydn, Bruch and Elgar are all linked to Britain. Nations and great centres of culture are the seeds for great music, inspiring composers visiting Vienna, Leipzig or London. Even in Singapore, the journey continues, with new Singaporea­n compositio­ns alongside rediscover­ies such as the 1915 Raffles March. Even grander is the inspiratio­n from nature and the universe, which give rise to our presentati­ons of The

Planets, Star Wars and the film and music experience, Moonrise & Aurora.
