SCO: Fiddl Faddle International(14th July 2012)

Hi there, so long haven't write down these days, quite a busy though.....
Anyway, last month I went to the concert at Esplanade Concert Hall for the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.


At the Esplanade, you will able to watch every preformation from dance, music to other acts like hip-hop and comedy. At the hall, you will able not just take booklet or buy any items to bring home, you can order drinks or snack at the bar corner before you enter the main concert hall.


For concert that night, Erhu player, Wang Xiao Nan, Celtic Violin Christopher Stout from Shetland Islands,UK and Gypsy Violin Alexander Souptel from Russian. These were the list for that night concert:
1)Fiddle Faddle
2)Gypsy Rhapsody
3)The Sun Shines on Tashkurghan
4)Paradise
5)Da Trows Jig(by Christopher Stout)
6)Michaelswood(by Christopher Stout)
7)Fuddkers Free(by Christopher Stout)
8)A Confluene of Voices
9)The Race of Three Fiddlers


One of the great moment when Christopher Stout played two pieces in one during the concert though I wasn't expect him to do that. Da Trows Jig was pretty simple in one piece, and Michaelswood was really wonderfully which I enjoyed it the most. Talk about the Gypsy violin that is almost same as normal violin, it can play in Gypsy music. That wasn't easy for those who want to try out on. Best part of all was The Race of Three Fiddlers which was later be on called by people. For erhu music, The Sun Shines on Tashkurghan was really great and so Paradise which was based about people in Shangri-La, China. The concert was really great that night.
