SUMMARY:[Ones to Watch] Orchestral Institute: Echoes Beyond
DESCRIPTION:“To me the meanest flower that blows can give\nThoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.”\n— William Wordsworth\, from Ode: Intimations of Immortality \nThe most enduring echoes are not those we hear\, but those we carry with us. In Echoes Beyond\, the YST Orchestral Institute presents a programme of searching\, transformation and renewal\, reflecting on the enduring impact of a life well lived. \nThe evening opens with Charles Ives’ The Unanswered Question\, a ‘cosmic landscape’ of humanity’s eternal search for meaning\, followed by Richard Strauss’ Death and Transfiguration—a richly imagined depiction of an artist’s final moments\, from earthly struggle towards transcendence and fulfilment. \nWe are then joined by YST Head of Piano Studies Professor Albert Tiu and Cello Faculty Professor Qin Li-Wei in two contrasting reflections on memory and place: Harry Sdraulig’s Fantasia on Waltzing Matilda\, an imaginative reworking of Australia’s beloved bush ballad\, and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Spring Waters\, a vocal romance capturing spring’s triumphant arrival. \nThe evening culminates in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3\, one of his most celebrated and demanding works\, performed by YST Concerto Competition 2026 Prizewinner Jiang Qifan (BMus3). \nEchoes Beyond honours the memory of longtime YST benefactor Mr Tan Kah Tee\, whose generosity transformed the educational journeys of countless YST students through his support of the Conservatory’s artistic and educational mission. His legacy lives on through the music\, the students and the community he so deeply believed in. \nSupported by the Shaw Foundation Ones to Watch series. \n \n  \nPROGRAMME \nYST ORCHESTRAL INSTITUTE\nwith\nJASON LAI\, conductor\nand\nALBERT TIU\, piano\nQIN LI-WEI\, cello\nJIANG QIFAN (BMus3)\, piano \n\nCHARLES IVES\nThe Unanswered Question\, S.50 \nRICHARD STRAUSS\nDeath and Transfiguration\, Op. 24 \nHARRY SDRAULIG\nFantasia on Waltzing Matilda \nSERGEI RACHMANINOFF\nSpring Waters\, Op. 14\, No. 11\nPiano Concerto No. 3 in D minor\, Op. 30  \n  \nTICKETING INFORMATION \nTickets at $26 via yst.eventbrite.com \nPatrons without valid tickets will not be allowed entry.
