SUMMARY:Orchestral Institute: Last Words
DESCRIPTION:What does an artist leave behind? A final work is rarely just an ending; it can be a summation\, a question\, or the beginning of another conversation. In this evening\, we explore how artistic voices become interwoven across time\, as composers’ final reflections continue to speak long after they were first heard. \nAaron Copland’s Night Thoughts\, one of the composer’s final works\, opens the evening in a world of introspection and quiet contemplation in homage to fellow American composer Charles Ives. This follows with Ruth Crawford Seeger’s Suite for Woodwind Quintet\, her penultimate composition before her death\, revealing the inventive spirit of one of America’s most original modernist voices. At the heart of the programme is Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto\, his final completed orchestral work\, written in memory of Manon Gropius and dedicated to “the memory of an angel”—a work that transforms grief into profound beauty. \nPresented by the YST Orchestral Institute under the baton of Principal Conductor Jason Lai\, and featuring YST Head of Strings Professor Qian Zhou on violin\, Associate Professor Ning An on piano\, guest musicians Gaolat Quintet and narrator Joseph N. Straus\, Last Words offers a rare opportunity to experience these deeply personal final statements in one single evening. \nPresented as part of Performers(‘) Present 2026: Interweaving. \n  \nPROGRAMME \nAARON COPLAND\nNight Thoughts (Homage to Ives) \nNING AN\, piano\n \nRUTH CRAWFORD SEEGER\nSuite for Woodwind Quintet \nGAOLAT QUINTET:\nRACHEL HO\, flute\nGRACE TAN\, oboe\nSTEPHANIE TAN\, clarinet\nKEE RUIHAN\, bassoon\nXAVIER TAN\, horn\n \nALBAN BERG\nViolin Concerto \nQIAN ZHOU\, violin\nYST ORCHESTRAL INSTITUTE\nwith\nJASON LAI\, conductor \n  \nTICKETING INFORMATION \nTickets at $26 via yst.eventbrite.com \nPatrons without valid tickets will not be allowed entry.
