The Little Adventurer of SCO 2 – Who is Singing in the Bamboo Grove?

In this fun-filled yet educational concert, Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) Associate Conductor Quek Ling Kiong (known as “Mr Quek” in this role) will once again be a hunter and lead the little audience to the bamboo grove! While discovering the mysteries in the bamboo grove, Mr Quekwill introduce the main families of Chinese wind instruments to the children such as the bamboo family, reed family and the extraordinary family. Tointroduce the bamboo family, pieces such as Qian Zhao Xi’s 'Primitive Hunting Scene' will be played with the gudi (bone flute) and the SCO. Next, the delightful double dizi concerto – 'Grasshopper Fooling with Rooster' – will feature the northern bamboo flute bangdi and southern bamboo flute qudiwhere these two instruments act as an analogy between the determined rooster and the nimble grasshopper, in a scene fooling with each other. As we progress to the next stop in the bamboo grove, Mr Quek will introduce the reed family including the sheng and suona with repertoires such as Nasreddin’s Medley and The Little Pony showcasing the respective instruments. Lastly, Mr Quek will also share a variety of wind instruments that are not part of a standard Chinese orchestra such as xun, bawu, xiao, hulusi and gongdi. Ticket Price: $11, from SISTIC
