WIN FREE TICKETS to CHOPIN: PASSION & DEATH


Exclusive to readers of PIANOMANIA


Here's how to win 
a pair of FREE TICKETS to
CHOPIN: PASSION & DEATH


Consumed and wracked by the ravages of tuberculosis, Frédéric Chopin overcame his frail health and fear of mortality with great music of ultimate passion. His tempestuous relationship with author George Sand in tatters, and desperately short of funds, he picked himself up for one last hurrah, a concert tour in the rain-beaten British Isles. This was the spring of 1848. One year later, the great Polish-born pianist-composer was dead.

This special concert brings together for the first time in Singapore, the three great mature sonatas of Chopin, featuring four of Singapore's most exceptional young musical talents. Pianists Victor Yeh and Jonathan Shin (students of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory) will play Chopin's 2nd and 3rd Sonatas, while cellist Loke Hoe Kit and pianist Song Ziliang (both of whom studied abroad respectively at the Mannes College of Music, New York and the Moscow Conservatory) will join forces to perform Chopin's Cello Sonata.
