TPCC Presents: TIMELESS SKIES — ASIAN A CAPPELLA
Conductor . Lim Yau
DESCRIPTION
"To-morrow! — Why, To-morrow I may be Myself
with Yesterday's Sev’n thousand Years." — Omar Khayyam, excerpt from Rubáiyát (trans. Edward FitzGerald) The constancy of the skies; the ceaseless cycle of the seasons; the stirring of human emotions through ritual and circumstance — nature guides the journey of the world and her inhabitants with her patient but firm hand. Through the works of Asian choral masters, we witness a vast cornucopia of natural events that so richly endows our world with a myriad of sensations from the modest and mundane to the abstract and awe inspiring.
Come 02 April 2017, The Philharmonic Chamber Choir (TPCC), conducted by Lim Yau, will offer a peek into this immense landscape and reveal the marvels within. From the celebration of nature’s bounty to the quiet respite of a child in slumber (Chen Shu-Xi's From Taiwan’s Mountains); to the fated meeting of lovers upon dew-laden grass (Neo Hup-Hiang’s Grass Creeps in the Wild); the worldly musings of ancient poetry (Takatomi Nobunaga’s Rubáiyát); or the playful interactions between nature and humans (Vanraj Bhatia’s Varsha, Sharad and Shishir), TPCC invites you to bear witness to the wonders of the earth under timeless skies.
