Chloe Chua & Hannu Lintu – Jewel and Titan

This Singapore pre-tour concert moves from Wang Chenwei’s local sound world in The Sisters’ Islands to Chloe Chua’s Mendelssohn, then opens out into Mahler’s First under Hannu Lintu.

What draws you to this experience?

01

The Sisters’ Islands sets a Singapore point of departure

Wang Chenwei’s tone poem turns a local island legend into orchestral colour. It is the tour programme’s opening statement of a Singaporean voice, rather than a generic curtain-raiser.

Classical & instrumental
02

Chloe Chua enters Mendelssohn’s long lyrical line

The E minor Concerto brings the soloist in early and keeps her woven through the orchestra. Hear how Chua connects songfulness, speed and transitions into one continuous argument.

Classical & instrumental
03

Mahler grows from awakening nature to a giant close

Mahler’s First travels from distant, awakening sounds through a distorted funeral march to a deliberately oversized finale. The hall lets its layers and dynamic scale occupy real space.
