Contemporary music figures strongly in the repertoire of the young Singapore Chinese Orchestra. They claim to have the "Nanyang" flavour, giving the many original scores commissioned by the orchestra their chance to shine. Neither the new or the old of China is neglected in this music box that, while winding the spring of refined experimentalism in Reminiscence of March and The Celestial Web, strives to let the origins of sound intensify.

Duration: approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, including one interval
