Synopsis:

After 2 years of hiatus, the Metro Philharmonic Society is back in Victoria Concert Hall to present Ocean of Songs. Joined by guest choirs Vox Camerata, National University of Singapore Society (NUSSS) Choir and Chordinate Singers, this concert takes a nostalgic trip down the memory lane with a repertory of popular and folk melodies sung in Singapore, including familiar favourites heard on the TV and movies.

The songs that Metro Philharmonic Choir will be presenting include "Partridge Cries" (which will be sung in Hainanese dialect), "You are my Solace" and "Blessing" (a popular movie episode in the 50s—60s of last century). The choir will be led by Mr. Ng Eng Kee. Chordinate Singers, led by conductor Mr. Acid Pang, will be performing "Westbound from Yangguan" (music composed by Acid Pang) and "BIg Fish". Vox Camerata Community Choir will perform local composer Zechariah Goh's arrangement of Lok Sui Ten (a Hakka folk song) and local composer Kenneth Tay's 'Flowers of the Forest, among other songs. The Vox Camerata Community Choir will be conducted by Mr. Sun Boxi and Ms. Samantha Wee. NUSS Choir, conducted by Mr. Adyll Hardy, will round off the program with evergreen tunes such as 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and 'Climb Every Mountain'.

We invite you to witness the power of choral music, connecting the different choral communities into one big family to share the joy of singing with you.

星市音乐会在2019年成功举办60周年音乐会后,不可避免地与其他音乐团体一样受到新冠疫情肆孽的影响而暂停演出活动。然而,我们在指挥黄荣基先生的带领下,继续以线上排练的形式进行活动。

当前疫情好转,星市音乐会又将在2022年6月25日假维多利亚音乐厅举办音乐会,再次与听众见面。让我简单介绍音乐会内容如下

《星市合唱团》将联同本地新成立的《合悦唱团》,《Vox Camerata Community Choir》以及《NUSS Choir》呈献多首由我国青年音乐家创作或改编的合唱曲,包括冯时泽的<鹧鸪啼>(以海南方言演唱的海南民谣),<还好有你>,<西出阳关>,<城里的月光>(电视剧"豆腐街"主题曲),梁洁莹的<祝福>("血染海棠红"插曲),吴多才的<落水天>(客家山歌),Kenneth Tay的等。另外,还有一些作品是以英语演唱的,如音乐剧The Sound of Music 中的等。

值得指出的是此次演出是《合悦唱团》的处女秀,初试啼声的《合悦唱团》是由年轻的音乐工作者冯时泽领导,他不但指挥合唱团,也为演出创作或改编了多首歌曲。他也曾经是星市青年合唱团的成员。指挥合唱演出的还包括黄荣基,Adyll Hardy,孙柏熙以及黄淑恩。

演出的高潮是大合唱<城里的月光>,我们欢迎观众到时能与合唱团在同欢共唱的欢乐歌声中结束。
