A spate of chamber music concerts coming up! Bought 3 pairs of tickets for each of the three concerts here, spending only $53 in all (!):
- 1st March - Qian Zhou Violin Recital; playing Beethoven's 'Spring' sonata, Faure's 1st sonata, Brahms's Scherzo movement from the 'FAE' sonata, and Brahms's 3rd Sonata.
- 21st March - Li Wei, Cello Live; Shostakovich sonata, Adagio and Allegro by Schumann, and Brahms 2nd sonata.
- 12th April - Cellissimo; with a programme of many short pieces each played by a different conservatory student.
Here's another two that I am contemplating going for (esp. the solo violin recital!), with only my budget stopping me:
- 2nd March - Cello Masterpieces; Debussy, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov sonatas.
- 2nd April - Darin Varbanov Solo Violin Recital; Solo works by Paganini, Bach, Wieniawski , Ysaye etc etc!
Just got my paycheck and think I'll be done spending it real soon; I always tell myself worthwhile chamber concerts are a must-watch because they are so rare in Singapore. SSO's orchestral music programming is so staid and boring, better to stick to intimate chamber music.

Check out Arts Fest program! ;)
The Arts Fest is for rich people loh, not for people like me. Anyway, arts fest concerts will never have adventurous programming, because visiting orchestras need big bucks to come and they can't afford to ostracise the rich crowd with music at the periphery of the classical canon. Come all, ye warhorses!
No lah, Arts Fest got affordable programming one. Here's a proof:
