What an experience! Tonight's programme was called Classics Kaleidoscope. An extraordinary performance by the Singapore Chinese Orchestra exceptionally conducted by Piao Dong Sheng. It was exactly as the title promised. Classical oriental music in all its forms. From traditional north eastern chinese Folk to Opera. Using instruments nearly unkown in the west like Erhu, Suona, Liuqin and Zhongyin. It proved once more what a powerful international language music is. There was absolutely no need to be chinese to feel the emotions rendered by the talented musicians. I will definitely renew the experience as soon as the opportunity arises.
