With his enthusiasm in Chinese Orchestral music, Sim Boon Yew has composed and arranged more than two hundred music pieces in local ethnic tunes which has deeply impacted the local Chinese orchestral music composing scene.

Repertoire:
“Theme of the Pioneers” is a majestic piece known from the iconic Hong Kong martial arts films ‘Palm of Rulai’ and Stephen Chow’s ‘Kung Fu’; “Suriram”, “Variations on the Theme of Burong Kakak Tua,” and “The Bubbling Creek Flows,” draws inspiration from folk melodies of Indonesia, Malaysia and China; “Impressions of Xiang Tunes” and “Sword Dance” incorporate musical elements of Fujian Opera and Peking Opera; our concert will also feature one of Sim Boon Yew’s masterpiece, “Little Note,” the soundtrack of an award-winning short film of the same name, directed by Royston Tan. This piece will be conducted by the maestro himself during the concert!

About The Elements Chinese Orchestra
The Elements Chinese Orchestra was founded in the year 2011. The direct translation of the Orchestra’s Chinese name – “Sky, Earth, Human, and Harmony” is collectively known as the elements bearing the meaning that the best things happen at the right time, in the right place and with the right people. It was established by 4 music instructors – Liang Han Kuei, Lim Chee Wei, Wong Wai Jan, and Tan Jie, who had longed to perform together. To achieve this dream of theirs, the 4 music instructors decided to hold a small ensemble concert, performing original songs composed by Liang Han Kuei himself, named after the 4 elements. Thereafter, under the encouragement of Wong Hong Cheong, the group expanded to include young and upcoming musicians to encourage and promote Traditional Chinese Music. As of to date, the ensemble has grown from 10 odd members to approximately 100 musicians. The Orchestra’s day-to-day practice sessions are led by Lim Chee Wei and Tan Jie. The conductors from its past concerts include Leong Han Kuei, Wong Hong Cheong, Wong Wai Jan, Chan Hoi Phang and Ong Meng Chung. Under the watchful eyes of these skillful conductors, the Orchestra has continually reached new heights and takes pride in being a platform which inspires music enthusiasts to be continuously driven by their passion and that upholds the standards of their music repertoire. The Elements Chinese Orchestra envisions to continue sharing, inspiring, and bringing music to more people in the community, locally and beyond.
