The Music Of Gabriel Faure @ Stage 1, Penangpac, Straits Quay, Jalan Seri Tanjung Pinang, Tanjung Tokong, Penang (6 & 7/9/14)
When: 8.30pm, Saturday, 6th & 3.00pm, Sunday, 7th August, 2014
This September, The Actors Studio Chorus will be joined by the newly formed chamber orchestra - The Actors Studio Orchestra. They will present THE MUSIC OF GABRIEL FAURÉ, dedicated entirely to the music of the foremost French composer Gabriel Fauré.
Gabriel Fauré (1845 - 1924), who was an organist, pianist and teacher, is one of the greatest French composers of his time. His harmonically and melodically complex music style has influenced many 20th-century composers. This concert is quite likely the first of its kind to be given in Penang, if not the whole of Malaysia. For those who have never heard of Fauré’s music before, they will realise that his music is very approachable and easy to listen to, and they also might be surprised by how recognisable it is. In this concert, The Actors Studio Chorus, conducted by Martin Rutherford, will feature Gabriel Fauré's famous works such as Requiem, Pavane, Cantique de Jean Racine etc. Our wonderful local soloist, Mika Hidaka will present Elegie and Sicilienne, both written for solo cello and orchestra that will definitely cheer up your day with their amazing melodies.
Since The Actors Studio Chorus was formed last August, it has already given two successful performances and this time we will witness a fine chamber orchestra of 22 players, with the goal of providing a stage for our local musicians to share their talent. Martin Rutherford, the conductor of The Actors Studio Chorus said: “When the singers began rehearsing the music, they found it quite difficult at first, especially when they discovered that one of the pieces had to be sung in French! Now that we are approaching the concerts and Fauré has become more familiar, they have not only mastered the French language, but have been struck by how beautiful and deeply satisfying the music is. We invite you to come to the concerts and share in the enjoyment of this wonderful music.”
