SUMMARY:[CANCELLED] [Concerto Prizewinners Showcase] Ones to Watch – Orchestral Institute: An Ode to Love
DESCRIPTION:Due to urgent safety-related maintenance works at the YST Concert Hall\, this concert has been cancelled to ensure the safety and comfort of all attendees. \n“Heard melodies are sweet\, but those unheard / Are sweeter.” — John Keats\, from Ode on a Grecian Urn \nIn the Romantic era\, the ode emerged as a form of poetic tribute — a heartfelt\, often exalted contemplation on beauty\, nature\, and the sublime. An Ode to Love draws from this tradition\, inviting us to explore the depths of emotion that music can transcend beyond sound. \nWe open with Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave) — a vivid evocation of nature’s grandeur\, inspired by the composer’s encounter with the rugged Scottish coastline. We then move inward with Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto\, written during a turbulent period in the composer’s life as a personal ode to forbidden passion. The evening culminates with Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 — a profound meditation on love’s trials and triumphs\, steeped in grandeur and emotional intensity. \nPresented by the YST Orchestral Institute under the batons of Principal Conductor Jason Lai and Feng Jiale (MMus\, Conducting)\, and joined by YST Concerto Competition 2025 Prizewinners Syu Cheng-Yi (BMus3\, Violin) and Chai Zi Qing (BMus4\, Piano)\, An Ode to Love is a poetic journey that draws us not only towards love’s melodies\, but also the unheard echoes of its enduring power. \nSupported by the Shaw Foundation Ones to Watch series. \nPROGRAMME \nYST ORCHESTRAL INSTITUTEwithJASON LAI\, conductorFENG JIALE^ (MMus)\, conductorandSYU CHENG-YI (BMus3)\, violinCHAI ZI QING (BMus4)\, piano^FELIX MENDELSSOHNThe Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave)PYOTR TCHAIKOVSKYViolin Concerto in D Major\, Op. 35JOHANNES BRAHMSPiano Concerto No. 1 in D Minor\, Op. 15 \n  \nTICKETING INFORMATION \nTickets at $26 via yst.eventbrite.com. \nOut of respect for the participants and other spectators\, no children under 6 years of age will be allowed admission. \nBe the first to hear about our upcoming events!
