TPJC concert

TPJC Le Musique 2008
Victoria Concert Hall

Presenting to you, Guitar Ensemble

Brought my camera but photography and video recording is strictly prohibited so no photo of the performance by both the Guitar Ensemble and Band.

The Guitar Ensemble played a total of 10 pieces namely "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas", "Gu Dan Bei Ban Qui", "Recuerdos De La Alhambra", "Amigos Para Siempre", "Tea for Two", "A Royal March", "El Bimbo", "English Country Garden", "Shepherd's Dance" and "Una Noche De Espana".

My personal favourites are "Tea for Two" and "Una Noche De Espana". "Tea for Two" is a lively and well-known piece. You can check out the song in Youtube. "Una Noche De Espana" is a very grand piece combining guitar with the winds instruments bringing a splendid ending for the Guitar Ensemble.

Next on stage was the band bringing to us 6 very loud pieces. I like instrumental music but I must really say the performance by the band was kind of disappointing, The pieces were not well-chosen and I personally felt that it was more of a show than a performance. Reason being the coordination between the band members was not good enough and many of them were moving between a couple of instruments during each piece therefore everyone was looking at those moving instead of concentrating on the performance. I only have one favourite out of the 6 pieces which is "Cavetowns' Cappadocia". Nothing to rave about the band performance.

After the end of the concert, we took some pictures together.

We left shortly after taking some photos as it was really crowded. On our way back to the MRT station, I went to the restroom with my Jing Yu and cam-whored a little. Below was probably the best photo taken in the restroom. (=P)

That's all. (^^)
