NUS Symphony Orchestra – Crossings in Sounds
February 6, 2026
•
7:30pm
YST Concert Hall 
Crossings in Sounds by NUS Symphony Orchestra showcases the versatility of orchestral music, and its ability to bring together various traditions, sounds, and stories. The pieces featured in this concert each explore contrasts and intersections in different ways.
Rossini’s overture to La gazza ladra (The Thieving Magpie) sets the tone, sharply oscillating between playfulness and more dark, dramatic emotions. Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story vividly fuses jazz, Latin rhythms, and unique orchestration, creating a layered aural tapestry of a city filled with colour and hope. Finally, Beethoven’s Triple Concerto unites three soloists, Pianist Ning An, violinist David Loke, and cellist Qin Li-Wei, with NUS Symphony Orchestra in a shared musical dialogue under the baton of A/Prof Chan Tze Law.
Through this performance, NUS Symphony Orchestra hopes to create an accessible and engaging encounter with classical music, one that appeals audiences of all ages and walks of life. Crossings in Sounds also launches the Orchestra’s international season.
