Earlier this Monday, I was at the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay to attend a concert by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO). That was a gala concert featuring Lori Maazel and the SSO. I did not quite enjoy the Violin Concerto, but I quite like the rest of the programme, including the encore. It was one of the better SSO concerts that I have heard.
After the concert, I was attracted to the outdoor displays placed at the Forecourt of the Esplanade. The lights looked beautiful against the darkness of the night. I like the theme too: Musicians.
Search for the display of a double bassist. I really don't agree that that particular display is that of a cellist. I heard someone said it is a display of someone playing a cello. Cellist or Double bassist, please just sit back and enjoy the photos of the displays.
Imagine an ensemble playing music in the darkness. Music fills the night. Let the light drive the darkness away.
I don't know about you, but I was fascinated with the displays. I love the contrast between the lights and the darkness. A self-disclosure: I am biased, I prefer string instruments to wind instruments. You can probably tell so from the photos.
