NUSSO performs at National Library Plaza!

Fantasie Passionee by NUS Symphony Orchestra
15 Sept 07 (Sat), 3pm
National Library Plaza


The 84-member NUS Symphony Orchestra entertained the public at the National Library Plaza with popular opera and theatre music, i.e. Bizet's Carmen Suites, Gounod's Faust Ballet Music, Selections from Rodgers' The King And I and Selections from Webber's Phantom of the Opera.


The one-hour concert was led by Foo Say Ming, the Orchestra's Assistant Conductor, who is also a musician with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.


The Orchestra was the first group to perform at the National Library Plaza and the performance was part of CFA's ExxonMobil Campus Concerts series.


Can you imagine there are 84 members here!?

Thanks to Exxonmobil, our orchestra managed to stretch further in attracting the public crowd.


You see~ It has attracted such a wide range of audiences...


... and the plaza has even become, P-A-C-K-E-D!


Of course, the pillars of the orchestra:

From Left: Siao Ming, President, who plays double bass;
Lim Soon Lee, Resident Conductor, who played viola during the performance;
Foo Say Ming, Asst Conductor & SSO musician (he conducted the whole performance!);
Chia Jit Min, who palys violin and also former Concert Master.


And more importantly, a photo for the behind-the-scene worker who have made this possible:
Mazlan (Production co-ordinator), Siewling (Manager) and Rex (Exxonmobil campus concert in-charge)!
