SOSL Christmas Concert to ring in seasonal melodies
View(s):Be swathed in the joyous melodies of Christmas at the much-awaited SOSL Christmas Concert on December 12, ringing in the festive season with much gladness and exultation.
While the orchestra is tuned to perform their very best under the baton of Conductor Dushy Perera, the melodious voices of the Mary Anne David Chorale and Soundarie David Rodrigo’s wizardry on the ivories, will make the concert even more special.
To be held at the Ladies’ College Hall the programme will include both traditional and contemporary festive favourites, light classics and Latin Gold.
From Chopin’s Military Polonaise to Emmanuel Chabrier’s Danse Slave, Jacob Gade’s Tango Jalousie to Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride and Paul Lavender’s arrangement of Latin Gold, the music that night is guaranteed to give everyone a magical dose of Christmas enchantment.
The Mary Anne David Chorale adds their signature piece of Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus, as well as Adolphe Adams’ captivating O Holy Night, Leroy Anderson’s Christmas Festival, Gloria Shayne Baker’s Do You Hear What I Hear and Jazz Gloria by Natalie Sleeth into their repertoire.
The highlight undoubtedly will be Soundarie David Rodrigo’s rendition of the 1924 musical composition of American composer George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
