a thing that i enjoyed about this concert was the diversity of the repertoire.
the first piece was arranged locally and is actually a familiar folk tune. it was a light piece and a great way to start the concert, and likely to prepare the audience for the more intense piece following that.
the second piece was the standard classical fare which the SSO is used to. however, the guest player wangjian was very pro! wangyi seems to be totally absorbed in the music lol. there was also a recurring melody that qinpei hummed after the concert lol
camwhored during the intermission...and the intermission was at the right time lol the second piece was some intense music...also, qinpei got to go to the toilet lol
the third piece was a contemporary piece that qinpei and mi have heard before and it was still as entertaining lol...we were having a little debate on which of the 5 movements of the piece was which element lol
the fourth piece was composed by tchaikovsky and im quite a fan of his music lol...this piece was more of theatre music but it was amazing...the strings part was just awesome
there was an encore piece as well which was performed by the guest cellist and wangyi was super excited about it coz he heard it on 92.4 before lol and he was asking for the name of the piece but qinpei and i dint know lol...
overall, a very enjoyable concert lol
rating[+++++]5/5
