Title: Kit Chan -- My Musical Journey (13 February 2011) The star: Kit Chan and the Singapore Chinese Orchestra
This was only the 2nd time I watched a performance in The Esplanade. Coincidentally, both times were for Kit Chan. (The previous was for her musical role in Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress)
I was pretty excited before the concert, not just because of the vocals of Kit Chan, but also because it was the first time that I was listening to a renowned orchestra, in a world-class venue setting. All these, with the fact that Dunman High had trained for me a pair of accepting ears for Chinese Orchestra. Listening to the best Chinese Orchestra in Singapore, was truly something worth looking forward to.
Pieces and pieces of music played by the 80-strong SCO, accompanied by the voices of the 65-strong Choir, really blended well with Kit Chan's vocals. It was the first time that I saw, in a live concert, a stage occupied by 140+ people, all earnestly doing their bit to deliver music. That is the heartening picture I see in that 90 minutes, and I enjoyed every second of it. Pretty.
As the theme was Kit Chan's Musical Journey, it was divided into sections:
#1: "The Early Days -- Wonder Years" She sang "Amazing Grace", "Something Good" and "Mr Turner"
#2: "Breakthrough" She sang [喜欢你], [担心], [拔河], [心痛]。
#3: "Flying High" She sang [等了又等], [月亮代表我的心], [炫耀]
#4: "The Turning Point -- Journey of Discovery" She sang [懂得], [东湾土星]
#5: "Coming Home" She sang [天冷就会来], [追], [家]
#6: Encore She sang "Home" (Michael Bublé), "Home" (Kit Chan)
---------------------------------------------------- And, she held an autograph session after the performance! So we queued, got up close with this Singaporean diva, let her sign on our booklets and thanked each other. Sweet.
