EIN MUSIKALISCHE ABEND @ RC4,
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE
Monday (24 March 2025), 6 pm
Yes, another soiree, but one with a difference. This time, it's held at the National University of Singapore's Residential College 4 where I am a guest of its Master, Professor Peter Pang of Mathematics. He's a regular concertgoer at Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, and he's gathered three pianists, two former students and a college resident of his to perform a programme of piano music. They included a mathematician, an English Literature major and a student of Communications and New Media.
 |
| Prof Peter Pang hopes this piano will get played often. |
The Yamaha grand piano at the Master's lounge was donated by NUS Centre for the Arts, and it is hoped it will continue to get more air time. Here are some photos from the 90-minute programme and what they performed.
 |
| A really ambitious 90-minute programme. |
 |
| Tan Weiyu opened the soiree with J.S.Bach's Goldberg Variations. |
 |
| He did not play the entire thing, but the Aria, Variations I-IV, Quodlibet & Aria da capo. |
 |
| Pamela Cheong contributed with Mozart's Sonata in B flat major (K.333) |
 |
| ...and Schubert's Impromptu in G flat major, a typical Horowitz programme from the 1980s. |
 |
| Benjamin Cheah is happy to share his programme of rarities, by Pancho Vladigerov, Nikolai Kapustin & Maurice Ravel. |
 |
| Benjamin performed his demanding programme completely from memory! |
 |
| Applause for the three pianists. |
 |
| Let's have another Abend sometime soon! |
