BRADDELL HEIGHTS SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA
The
Braddell Heights Symphony
Orchestra (BHSO) was formed in 1986 as
part of the Braddell Heights Community Club’s multi-faceted
cultural activities. Since 1989, the orchestra has been led by Music
Director and Conductor Yan Yin Wing.
The Orchestra’s emphasis on classical orchestral music has not
only given more than 60 public concerts to-date but graced many
prestigious functions. Noteworthy concerts and events include combined
performances with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Penang Symphony
Orchestra and the Schola Cantorum Cantate Domino Boys’ Choir from
Belgium not to mention gracing The Debutante Ball held at The Ritz Carlton,
Singapore.
Besides Singaporeans ranging from students to professionals, the
Orchestra has attracted the local expatriate communities from
Malaysia, Japan, China, England, Australia, USA, Netherlands, Germany,
Korea, Indonesia, India, Canada and Finland where all share the love for
classical music making and performing.
A “Gifted Young Musicians’ Concert” in
April 1998 jointly organised with the Rotary Club of Singapore East
featured three exceptionally talented young soloists from Singapore,
Japan and Belgium. Proceeds of that concert went to start a fund for
the “Gifted Young Musicians’ Bursary”.
This Bursary is a first of its kind and is open to talented and
deserving young musicians under the age of 18 who are pursuing music
studies overseas. The Bursary is administered by the National Arts
Council of Singapore.
BHSO started off the New Year in 1998 & 1999 with special
concerts featuring familiar favourites. Special
engagements include performances with Hungarian-born cellist Pal Banda and
British guest conductor Christopher Fifield. Other successful events include
“An Evening of Asean Music” and “Beethoven Night”,
where the latter featured three talented young Singaporean musicians in a
rousing performance of Beethoven’s Triple Concerto.
A music exchange programme between BHSO and Korea Symphony Orchestra
was initiated by Yan in 1999. He was invited to guest conduct
the orchestra in Korea and similar return invitations were extended
to the conductor of the Korea Symphony Orchestra. On top of that, BHSO
Musicians were also invited to perform with the Korea Symphony Orchestra
in Korea.
Despite facing many difficulties with regards to resources,
participation and funds, the Orchestra has garnered much support from
both members and audience where their performances have won extremely
favorable comments. Opportunities to perform with foreign musicians
have not only encouraged fruitful cultural exchanges but also attained
marvellous orchestral standard reflected by recent positive reviews.
