Beautiful Sunday ~ Jazz It Up! 爵士风

Sunday, 12 July 2015, 03:00 PM

Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, Singapore Singapore

Join the Windstars Ensemble and conductor Takehiro Oura for an afternoon of relaxing blues and fun jazz tunes. Hear the trumpets roar in Sing Sing Sing, soulful vocal renditions of Summertime and bossa nova classic Wave, and all-time jazz favourite In the Mood, alongside symphonic works given a jazz twist such as David Holsinger’s Scootin on Hardrock.

Made up of professional musicians, music educators and students, the Windstars Ensemble was formed in 2012 to bring accessible quality wind band music to the general audience.

轻松的蓝调、欢乐的爵士旋律，让韵星管乐团陪大家度一个悠闲的下午。本场音乐会由大浦武洋指挥，曲目有：《星星星》聆听号角齐争鸣的声势、《夏季里》深情的声乐演唱、经典的《浪》感受巴萨诺瓦的简洁轻快、广受喜爱的爵士曲《好心情》，以及满溢浓浓爵士味道的交响作品，大卫•霍尔辛格的《重搖滾狂奔》。

成立于2012年的管乐团，由专业乐员、音乐导师和学生组成，旨在把妙韵管乐推介给广大观众。
