Siow Lee-Chin and The Oberlin Orchestra's New Year Concert

Haven't been to an orchestra for ages! And boy was this good! It's such a crowd pleaser. Siow Lee-Chin played in the first half before intermission. Although she played well, i like the second half after the intermission better. For no other reason but cos it was more cheerful. She was too good in her opening piece - The Lark Ascending - it was too sombre and sad for my liking.

Other than the two "encores", my favourite piece was Tritsch-Tratsch Polka, Op. 214 by Johann Strauss.

You bet i'll be going to more orchestra in the New Year! Especially if there's the Keppel discount! :p
