The program includes Brahms’ final orchestral work, the 1887 Double Concerto, where violin and cello interweave in intricate harmony. Tchaikovsky’s towering Fifth Symphony embodies the exhilarating richness of Russian Romanticism with its anguished melodies and lush orchestration.
Also featured is "Luciola singapura," a shimmering new work by award-winning Singaporean composer Koh Cheng Jin, which celebrates the discovery of a new species of luminous firefly found in Singapore’s Nee Soon Forest.
