OMM embarks on an expedition through a programme inspired by iconic operas and monumental works of literature! The concert opens with Wagner’s Overture to The Flying Dutchman, an adaptation of the eponymous ghostly legend fused with the composer’s own tempestuous experience with a maritime voyage, setting the stage for an evening of love, drama and passion.

Acclaimed Taiwanese-American violinist Paul Huang – recipient of the prestigious 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant – then joins the orchestra to perform Tchaikovsky’s evergreen Violin Concerto. This staple of violin concerto repertoire has no shortage of virtuosic passages and thick, lush melodies that have long riveted audiences through the outpouring of human emotion.

Delving deeper into Tchaikovsky's works with his Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy, the orchestra brings to life the celebrated love themes from this Shakespearean classic of star-crossed lovers – a fate inversed in Gershwin’s English opera Porgy and Bess, the symphonic arrangement of which will conclude the programme. Arranged by his close friend Robert Russell Bennett after Gershwin’s death, this Symphonic Picture presents a wordless walkthrough of the opera’s unforgettable and stirring melodies, bringing the concert to its rousing end.
