Monday, May 23, 2005 12th SGH Dinner at the Ritz This must be our shortest performance to date! STRIIIINGS was called upon to be a guest item after the awards presentation, and our segment was for 20 min. We had a really difficult time trying to decide what pieces of music to perform from our huge repertoire. After a lot of deliberation, we finally decided to perform three pieces of music that would fully reflect the group's versatility. Thus, we first performed ABBA's Ma Ma Mia in a pop style with full orchestral backdrop and drums. Then we performed the classical Pachelbel's Kanon in D with some jazz infusion. And finally we performed the lovely Korean love song, I Believe, with its lovely simple piano passages. All to heartwarming applause! The organizers wished they had more time to allocate to us for the performance, and so did we. There are so many styles STRIIIINGS can do now, rousing pop, soothing jazz and romantic ballads, and we usually don't get to perform them all during our usual three hour long gigs. 20 minutes of performance definitely was far too short! # posted by Paul @ 1:48 AM

Saturday, May 21, 2005 Pop Strollers At 55 Cluny Park Road Tonight's performance at the French Ambassador's residence saw STRIIIINGS performing in a pop style for the first time! The occasion was the launch of Citroen's C4 and C5 cars graced by H.E Mr. Jean-Paul Reau, and STRIIIINGS was required to provide strolling violinists in a pop style similar to the Bond Girls or Vanessa Mae. We were rather apprehensive at first, but we decided to do it. Strolling musicians, we've done before, but never in a pop style. In the end, it turned out awesome, as we fully utilized the digital stage piano to provide heart thumping percussive drums and a full orchestral sound to provide the backup effects for our strolling violinists. With the reverb effects provided by an extremely effective sound crew through their mixer and wireless equipment, we created a full bodied effect that was pretty near to a pop concert! All in all, it was a fantastic performance. # posted by Paul @ 1:56 AM

Monday, May 02, 2005 Our String Quartet We had a busy day today, our string quartet was asked to perform for a lunch and a dinner. Though we usually advise getting the piano quartet for the versatility and class, the string quartet was entirely suitable for both occasions. The first was a one hour performance for a wedding lunch at the Ritz Carlton, and the second was for a wedding ceremony and cocktail reception at The Sentosa. It was tiring, but it sure was fun, for it was an all guys quartet, and we certainly were boisterous on our instruments! # posted by Paul @ 12:43 AM
