Pack your picnic basket and BYOB (bring your own blanket) to Gardens by the Bay for a unique sonic experience under the stars. Soundtracked by the sweet sounds of Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO), Symphony in the Gardens: Gardens By The Bay invites all – family, friends and furkids – to wind down amid the gorgeous blooms and colossal Supertrees on March 15.
Eliminating the clichés of traditional orchestral performances, SSO is taking its string, woodwind, brass and percussion instruments from the concert halls to the great outdoors. Led by Singaporean conductor Darrell Ang, the SSO is set to serenade you with its renditions of classical favourites. The programme is still to be confirmed but the orchestra’s outdoor concerts have in the past included songs from the world's most famous operas and ballets such as Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, Bizet’s Carmen and Verdi’s La Traviata. However, the first movement from Mozart's Horn Concert No.2 will be performed by principal horn, Han Chang Chou.
Whether you're a newcomer or a long-time fan of classical music, an evening with the virtuosic SSO is sure to be one of pure delight. Gather your closest and dearest, and end the weekend on a high note at Symphony in the Gardens: Gardens By The Bay. This outdoor classical music concert is free.
