7 December 2024 SOTA Concert Hall
Read a wonderful review by Dr Chang Tou Liang here
Alvin Arumugam, conductor
Mikyung Sung, double bass
with Symphonia Choralis, led by chorus master Chong Wai Lun
and Teng Xiang Ting soprano, Cindy Honanta mezzo-soprano, Raymond Lee tenor, John Lee bass
Kosaku Yamada – Madara No Hana
Missy Mazzoli – Dark with Excessive Bright, Concerto for Double Bass and String Orchestra
Giovanni Bottesini – Double Bass Concerto No. 2 in B minor
Ludwig Van Beethoven – Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125
Baritone John Lee was the perfect choice to voice the opening O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!, his stentorian presence a reassurance.
– Chang Tou Liang, Pianofortephilia
Always great to work with friends like Xiang Ting, Cindy, Ray, Wai Lun.. and now Alvin. Also cool to see some other old friends/friendly faces like Wen-Yu, Kyu Ri, Joanne and Erlyn!
Apart from ROS, haven’t had the chance to sing much recently in this way. Grateful for the opportunity. To future projects together!
