Musical Voyage II

Conducted by SNYCO Conductor Lien Boon Hua, this captivating concert showcases a journey through both local heritage and imaginative landscapes beyond Singapore. The night opens with a world-premiere composition by esteemed Singaporean jazz musician Chok Kerong, setting an inspiring tone for the evening.

Maestro Kuan Nai-chung’s iconic work A Trip to Lhasa blends the composer’s impressions and imagination of the city, from the grandeur of The Potala Palace to the powerful tradition of celestial burial. Young composer Wen Zhanli, on the other hand, offers a deeply personal perspective of Tibet, inspired by the composer’s own travels through his evocative piece, The Encounter and The Forgotten Valley.

Audiences will also enjoy Singapore-inspired pieces like Prince Sang Nila Utama and Singa by Law Wai Lun, retelling the legend of Singapore's founding prince, and Storytellers on Ann Siang Road by Phang Kok Jun, a chamber ensemble piece that evokes the vibrant, multicultural past of Singapore’s historic streets. Together, these pieces offer a rich tapestry of musical storytelling, brought to life by SNYCO's talented young musicians.

在连汶华指挥的带领下，新加坡国家青年华乐团将带领观众穿越本地文化遗产与异国风情的音乐之旅。本次音乐会呈献了多位本地作曲家的杰作，既充满新加坡风采，也带有西藏的神秘色彩。音乐会以著名爵士音乐家卓可荣为本场音乐会创作的全球首演作品拉开序幕，带来鼓舞人心的序章。

作曲大师关迺忠的经典作品《拉萨行》虽出于其未曾踏足西藏的想象，但凭借丰富的知识与独特的创意，关迺忠精准地用音符勾勒出人们心目中的西藏文化与历史。这首作品不仅呈现了布达拉宫的壮丽、天葬的庄严，也是本地中学华乐团SYF自选曲目中的经典之作。而中国音乐学院作曲系教师温展力的作品《在遇见和忘记的山谷中》则融入了他两次深入西藏的个人体验，展现了他眼中多层次的西藏。

此外，观众还将欣赏到新加坡文化奖得主罗伟伦的《王子与狮子》，讲述新加坡创国王子桑尼拉乌他玛的传奇故事；以及冯国峻的双二胡室内乐作品《安祥路上的说书人》，叙述两位分别用中文和马来文讲故事的说书人，从彼此独立表演到互相竞争，最终发现他们在用不同语言讲述同一个故事，呈现多元文化的和谐美。才华横溢的团员将倾情演绎这些丰富多彩的音乐作品，为观众带来一场不可错过的音乐盛宴。
