SSO @ UCC Hall

I had thought we might have a hard time staying awake throughout the concert after a rush dinner and anxiety of the peak hours traffic to reach the National University Cultural Centre Hall for the performance by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO).

Interesting and lively pieces from Georges Bizet (1838-1875) Symphony No. 1 in C major and Charles Gounod (1818-1893) Faust: Ballet Music well rejuvenate us - it was a choice selection for the evening concert goers. Observing the immaculate coordination between each of the violinists and the accompanying group musicians, it was enchantingly captivating.

I particularly adorns the violin family.

Am in full attune to the notion, "Shopping does not buy you happiness, but a concert may." Many thanks to SPH Gift of Music program that aims at promoting Arts & Culture to the general public; had a wonderful evening with Ric, sharing love for the classical.

It was a free concert, but never a slipshod job by the SSO. Well done!
