If you enjoy the sheer diversity of piano music, and do not care so much for Mahler, here is a multi-piano piano recital you should not miss!
PIANO EXTRAVAGANZA 2024 is the latest edition of the annual piano recital that celebrates young Singaporean piano talent and piano music. This year's concert showcases four wonderful musicians - Lin Xiangning, Natalie Ng, Jonathan Shin and Geoffrey Lim - in music for piano on one hand, two hands, four hands and eight hands.
The diverse repertoire includes works by Franz Schubert, Frederic Meinders, Frederic Chopin, Felix Mendelssohn, Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky, Astor Piazzolla, Kelly Tang (transcribed by Bertram Wee) and the world premiere of Jonathan Shin's Three City Ballads.
Here's a preview from the pages of The Straits Times:
