Join Maxi’s discovery of the joy of music on Sunday, 3 June 2018 at 2.30 pm and
4.30 pm. Renowned radio and
television host Datuk Yasmin Yusuff
will narrate Maxi’s adventure whilst Korean-American conductor Gene Chang will lead the orchestra
through an exciting programme. It will include Mozart’s energetic and bustling Abduction
from the Seranglio and one of
Ravel’s most famous works, Bolero, originally scored as a
ballet piece. These will be followed by Beethoven’s iconic Fifth Symphony, one of the classical music’s most famous
compositions, especially due to its distinctive opening motif which has been
used in popular culture around the world.
The Firebird was the first of three
ballets that established Stravinsky’s reputation as a composer. This will be
followed by Rossini’s Finale from the play entitled William Tell; this movement was famously used as the theme music
for the radio and television shows of The Lone Ranger.
Also included in the repertoire list are Strauss’ Radetzky March, a work popular among regimented marching
soldiers, and Grieg’s ‘Peer Gynt’ Suite
No.1 which charmingly captures the start of the day, opening with flutes
and oboes before the music unfolds gently and almost magically.
These family-themed concerts are suitable for
children of 4 years and above.
