With only 41 musicians in their maiden year in 1979, The Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO) has now blossomed into a full-fledged orchestra with 90 professional musicians with 78 of them Singaporeans. Under the new direction and guidance from Lan Shui (Music Director of SSO), the SSO has successfully launched its new phase of development in 1997.
The SSO performs more than 90 concerts in two seasons a year. Besides performing on home ground at the Victoria Concert Hall, the SSO has also been to venues like the ever-popular open-air concerts at the Botanic Gardens and to the office and shopping crowds of major shopping centres.
The coming of the new millennium marks an important milestone for the SSO. To keep up with the technology advancement, SSO aims to bring the orchestra even nearer to its audiences. Imagine listening to classical pieces by Mozart or Vivaldi right through your computer's multimedia speakers and at the convenience of your own home. Pretty interesting isn't it?
Vivamusic.com is proud to launch the first of its kind - The Classical Channel. This page will feature delayed webcasts of every SSO's concerts and events and video clips of their performances in the 2001 season. It will also serve as another platform for the SSO to reach to a younger audience and their hopes to become the People's Orchestra.
If you didn't have a clue to what the SSO is all about, you can always log on to the Classical Channel for more information about the SSO and it's upcoming events.
