Soirée 2019: Tessellations is an exploration of patterns and symmetry in music. We commonly see beautiful artworks created with repeating geometric shapes. Similarly, repeating notes and sequences are often woven into music. Recognising these patterns can change our perceptions of music, and enable the audience to consider another dimension to the performance. Join the NUS Harmonica Orchestra as they uncover patterns concealed within a selection of prominent works.
NUS Harmonica Orchestra
NUS Harmonica Orchestra
Founded in 1981, NUS Harmonica Orchestra (NUSHO) has evolved from an instrumental ensemble to become a unique orchestra that incorporates other orchestral instruments, and now has an extensive repertoire ranging from oriental folk music to classical symphonic works to pop, jazz and film music.
NUSHO has a highly decorated history, regularly winning medals at the Asia Pacific Harmonica Festival, and performing in events such as the Singapore Youth Olympic Games City Celebrations. Always eager to do their part to inspire young musicians in Singapore, NUSHO has also organised the Singapore Youth Harmonica Festival twice.
Additionally, NUSHO firmly believes in providing a comprehensive and progressive music education for all its members, regardless of their music background. As part of this vision, NUSHO provides structured training programmes to equip and enable its members to perform to their very best. Senior members are also given opportunities to participate in both regional and international competitions.
