Oh especially since we're all clarinetists, if you do go for my chamber concert, look out for the only guy in my clarinets section. He's an awesome player! And yea all of us clarinetists came from band backgrounds, so see how far you all have the potential to go. Cheers!

NUSSO CHAMBER CONCERT
Where: University Cultural Centre (NUS), theatre hall
When: 17th January 2009 (Saturday), timing to be confirmed but most likely in the evening
Price: FREE ADMISSION
Repertoire:
It's a chamber ensemble (small group) concert and my fellow clarinetists have lined up a clarinet quartet piece CONCERTANTE QUARTET by Arnold Cooke, and CONCERT PIECE NO.2 FOR 2 CLARINETS AND PIANO by Felix Mendelssohn. I'm playing the bass clarinet for the quartet and 1st clarinet for the duet. As for what the other ensemble groups are doing, I don't know yet. But do come and support yea? It's my first time playing bass clarinet and the duet is kind of VERY challenging so it would be nice if you guys could come and support me. Admission is free anyway :D

Hey all! Forgive me for my abuse of the klarinutz blog, but I'm here to promote my concerts. I'd gladly demand that the Sparkswinds concert be made mandatory for all of you to attend, especially since we're playing your SYF piece, but I won't be that mean lah. But for a change in sound texture, why not try the my orchestra's chamber ensemble concert. It sounds very different from the band background that we all are raised in, and I think it would be nice exposure for all of you. And ohohohoh there a a number of really fantastic players in the orchestra too! Some are members of the Singapore National Youth Orchestra and others from Philharmonic Winds or Singapore Wind Symphony, and a number of the guys were also from SAF bands. So yea the standard here is pretty high and I believe it'll be a real eye-opener for you guys. Can't always be the frog at the bottom of the well yea? So watch them, and see how far behind you guys are, and then aim to catch up yea?
