About the event

Echoes of Ancient Airs: An evening of Asian a cappella
The quatrains of the Rubáiyát, the poems of the Tang dynasty, the psalms from the Old Testament—the timelessness of these verses from antiquity have long inspired composers past and present, creating a pool of works not just of great beauty, but also of deep profundity. These words spark the lushest of harmonies and the simplest of utterances, resulting in works that can move mountains and seas.

After a 7-year hiatus, The Philharmonic Chamber Choir returns with a programme of works that springs from these ancient texts. Some will be new to us, including the Singapore Premiere of Dr Zechariah Goh’s 废琴 (Abandoned Qin) while others are familiar echoes of past stories we have told.

We welcome you to join us in this new chapter of The Philharmonic Chamber Choir.

Programme:
Haru ga kita nara (When Spring Comes)—Yuka Yamashita

Rubáiyát—Takatomi Nobunaga

Chiisana Sora (Small Sky)—Toru Takemitsu
