Esplanade - Melodies of Classic Virtues

SYNOPSIS

ENGLISH | 中文

Experience classic Chinese texts in a completely new way through elegant Chinese classical music as the Singapore Chinese Orchestra performs specially composed modern musical interpretations of the San Zi Jing (Three Character Classic) and Di Zi Gui (Standards for being a Good Student and Child).

These two classic Chinese texts have traditionally been used to educate young people. The San Zi Jing covers a wide range of topics including ethical and moral values and served as a child’s first formal education at home. The Di Zi Gui, based on the teachings of Confucius, is regarded as an essential text for moral education and has been widely used across generations.

Conducted by Maestro Tsung Yeh, this concert features original music written by famous Chinese composer Xu Jian Qiang, melodious voices of the Victoria Junior College and Tanjong Katong Secondary School choirs, students from the Hong Wen School and Nanyang Primary School, as well as vocalist Yu Ji Xing, with narration, interesting anecdotes and stories by established MediaCorp artiste Guo Liang. (Due to personal reasons, Professor Qian Wen Zhong is unable to perform in this concert).

Recommended for six years old and above.

SYNOPSIS

ENGLISH | 中文

看中国国学启蒙宝典《三字经》与《弟子规》中的字字句句，如何化作一个个悦耳动听的音符，并吟诵出诗文歌乐的精致瑰丽。

“熟读《三字经》，可知天下事”。自南宋以来，《三字经》已有七百多年历史，是学习中华传统文化的儿童启蒙读物。它以三字一句的韵文，涵盖了中国传统的教育、历史、天文、地理、伦理和道德以及一些民间传说。而《弟子规》则依据至圣先师孔子的教诲编写而成，他深信道德原理、品德与纪律是儿童的基础教育。它文字通俗，同样是三字韵文形式，千百年来备受推崇。

在新加坡华乐团音乐总监葉聰的策划下，一场以现代手法展现中国古文化经典源远流长的音乐会，让古文随着悠雅的音符缓缓飘动，感受文学与音乐的深邃精湛。

全场音乐特邀中国作曲家徐坚强创作，参与演出还有歌唱家于吉星，及宏文学校、南洋小学、丹绒加东中学与维多利亚初级学院合唱团。

新传媒著名主持郭亮将应邀参演，让古文学变得好听好读。（钱文忠教授因私人理由，无法参与此演出）。

适合6岁以上的孩童观赏。
