Double Bass

Fellow Friend of Yesterday.sg, PY who plays the double bass, will be performing with the NUS Symphony Orchestra at a free concert early next year. She’s part of the double bass ensemble, and they will be playing P. Tchaikovsky’s Neapolitanina Dance (from Swan Lake), J.S. Bach’s Menuett and I. Berlin’s Ragtime.

I can’t make it as I will be stuck somewhere in the western region of Singapore that day. But if you can, please show PY your support by making your way down to NUS for the concert.

Wed, 10 Jan 2007, 7.30 p.m.

Olivia in the Studio (by acroamatic)

Remember the “Japanese” girl (she’s actually Singaporean) who sang the Majulah Singapura before an international football match between Japan and Singapore?

Olivia Ong, of Girl Meets Bossa Nova fame, will be performing live in Singapore at the NUS Arts Festival 2007. (Damn, that sounded so ‘press release’.)

Details are sketchy at the moment. I’ve grabbed the information from a brochure promoting next year’s NAF. The NUS Arts Festival website hasn’t been updated at the time this post was written. The tickets have yet to go on sale, so there’s no information on SISTIC either. So, here’s what I know:

Olivia and Friends Meet Bossa Nova
Wednesday, 14 March 2007 7.30 p.m.
University Cultural Centre (UCC) Hall
Tickets at $68, $58 and $48 (excluding SISTIC fee)

For the first time in Singapore, Olivia returns from Japan to perform live for her Singapore fans. Accompanied by her musician friends from Brazil and Japan, Olivia will share some of her favourite Bossa Nova standards and original songs tinged with Brazilian flavours, and surprise treats from her.

Audiences can catch the Brazilian wave with Celsinho Silva, a distinguished Brazilian percussionist known for his unique playing styles on the Pandeiro and the Cuixas. Olivia’s band includes Gustavo Anacleto (saxophone), Jun Kagami (guitar and vocal), Ryotaro Imai (piano), Akira Kameyama (bass), Alexandre Ozaki (drums), Damiao Gomes de Souza (percussion and vocal), and Inuzuka Saeko (guitar and vocal).

from SISTIC website

Tickets go are on sale now on Friday, 22 December 2006. Click here to book through SISTIC. There is a 20% Early Bird Discount, which runs ’til 15 January 2007. After that, there are discounts of varying amounts for NUS students, staff, corporate and school bookings.

You heard it here first. ;)

Oh, if you drop by her blog, wish her a belated Happy Birthday. She turned 21 not long ago.

Flickr slideshow of my photos from Ee & Darcy’s Wedding.

Congratulations!

Terence Lim was the official photographer. (UPDATE Some of his preliminary photos at Ee’s blog.) I just took a few shots of Darcy getting ready ‘cos Terence couldn’t be at two places at once. The rest of the day, I took candids and group shots with a point-and-shoot. Here are Mala’s and Qinz’s entries about the wedding. My favourite photos of the day follow.

Vendor from a people and marketing company (whatever that is supposed to mean) talks about all the wonderful features of their proposed community software.

All sorts of communication and collaboration functions.

Can do this, can do this.

Can enable this, can facilitate that.

Then, he sends us a summary of the session…

Via email.
