About us
Singapore Classical Concerts Meetup are for anyone interested in attending classical music concerts of great composers and philharmonic orchestras!
Please note that the idea of a meetup group is to meetup and attend concerts and build a community of classical music enthusiasts and appreciation where we can discuss and chat about classical music together. In this regard, we are taking No-Shows seriously. For authenticity and good manners, as a responsible adult, please ensure if you are not attending to un-RSVP in advance at least 1 day before the concert so that the host for the day does not need to wait for you. Please provide proper respect and communication to the meetup host and other members for easier coordination on the day of the concert meetup.
( Note: From time to time different members of our meetup group may want to host a classical event, do note that these are done entirely on their own initiative for that particular event and they take responsibility accordingly. )

Toast Box @ Esplanade, 1 Esplanade Drive, #01-01/03, Singapore 038981, Singapore, SG## Synopsis : https://www.sso.org.sg/whats-on/augustin-hadelich-tchaikovsky-violin-concerto
Violinist Augustin Hadelich’s phenomenal technique, insightful interpretations and ravishing tone have astounded audiences the world over, and he’s back in Singapore to perform Tchaikovsky’s popular violin concerto. Under the vigorous direction of French maestro Pierre Bleuse, this exciting combination gives way to two contrasting tales of supernatural sensuality – the cloak-and-dagger clamour of Béla Bartók’s controversial The Miraculous Mandarin, and the primal beauty of Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé. Dream(e)scapes, a new work by Singaporean composer Zechariah Goh, opens this programme.

Victoria Concert Hall, 11 Empress Place, Singapore 179558, Singapore, SGThis programme curated by Music Director Hannu Lintu begins fittingly with Schubert’s most famous symphony, the “Unfinished,” a work whose lyrical immediacy and structural boldness would echo far beyond his own time. Schubert’s legacy is taken up directly in Berio’s Rendering, the 20th-century Italian composer’s imaginative mosaic of the D. 936A Symphony Schubert sketched in the final weeks of his short life in 1828. In Rendering, Schubert’s symphonic poise dissolves into curious veils of celesta and then re-emerges, transformed, revealing the kintsugi-like artistry with which Berio restores and reimagines the fragments.
Schubert was also a profound inspiration to his younger contemporary Schumann, whose Cello Concerto completes the arc of the evening. Its poetic introspection and restless lyricism find a compelling advocate in British cellist Steven Isserlis, the soloist for tonight’s performance.This concert is dedicated to the late Maestro Choo Hoey, the founding Music Director of the SSO.
