LANXESS: A Musical Chemistry in the Woods


In celebration with the International Year of Chemistry, German specialty chemicals company Lanxess put up a Symphony Orchestra Concert with The Singapore National Youth Orchestra in the outdoor of the Botanic Gardens.

Together with guest conductor, Jason Lai, it was a rousing performance of:
Richard Wagner: Overture to "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg"
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: ‘Andante cantabile’ from Symphony No. 5
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: ‘Allegro vivace’ from Violin Concerto in D major, op. 35 (Selina Tang, Violin)
John Williams: Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone

As if the working of chemistry, i was overwhelmed by the pieces from John Williams & the Potter instead of my much anticipated Tchaikovsky; the Sorcerer's Stone does have that magical allure to the finale of the evening..
