Just got back from the indoor stadium. Went there to catch a performance. The performance was great, frankly speaking I've never witness such a performance. I'm used to going for western musicals as well as concerts that play western classical but today's performance was nowhere similar. The show was titled
[ Voices of harmony, Sound of a thousand years] . It is a collaboration between the Singapore Chinese orchestra group as well as a foreign arts group from China. It's organised by Phor Kark See Monastery.
Today was more or less the first time I've sat through a whole show put together by the SCO. In the past i used to have the misconception that SCO was an orchestra for the old. I was wrong. It was amazing to see Chinese instruments playing to the tunes of pop songs.
Another highlight of the whole show tonight is the performance put up by the art's group from China. One thing very special about this group is that all it's group members are not like you and me. They are people who are disabled. Be it visually impaired, hearing impaired and even the physically handicapped.
It was so touching to see the much acclaimed group perform. The group have been to almost 50 different countries to perform and have won numerous awards.
From the performance, you could really witness their strong desire to live on despite their disabilities. Their zest for life was so strong, it touched most of us present.
I feel that Singapore should also have an Arts school for the disabled. It's a platform where those people could showcase their talents for the Arts as well as intergrating them into our society.
haha... i noe i still owe some people their pics. Yes. I'll upload them soon. Real soon. The sentosa photos as well as the photos i took with sheena.(=
