NUS Symphony Orchestra – Crossings in Sound

February 6, 2026 7:30pm

YST Concert Hall
Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, 3 Conservatory Drive

Crossings in Sound 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 darker, more dramatic emotions. Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story vividly fuses jazz, Latin rhythms, and distinctive orchestration, creating a layered aural tapestry of a city filled with colour and hope.

The concert culminates in Beethoven’s monumental Triple Concerto, a work of extraordinary scope that brings together three YST Conservatory senior faculty alongside acclaimed alumnus David Loke in a remarkable institutional showcase. Pianist Ning An, violinist David Loke, and cellist Qin Li-Wei unite as soloists with NUS Symphony Orchestra in an intricate musical dialogue under the baton of Associate Professor Chan Tze Law. This rare convergence of conservatory faculty and distinguished alumni in one of Beethoven’s most demanding chamber-orchestral works represents a significant artistic milestone, embodying the collaborative spirit and pedagogical excellence that define YST Conservatory.

Through this performance, NUS Symphony Orchestra creates an accessible and engaging encounter with classical music that appeals to audiences of all ages and walks of life. Crossings in Sound also launches the Orchestra’s international season.
