Performed by NUS Symphony Orchestra, Where Worlds Converge: A Night at the Crossroads features two compositions conceived during pivotal moments in time.
Premiering at NUS Arts Festival 2025, Rice is composed by flute virtuoso Jin Ta. A fusion of Eastern aesthetics and Western instrumentation, the piece is a soul-stirring opus borne of the uncertain pandemic years. The next work, Mahler’s First Symphony, is a groundbreaking work that marked a crucial turning point in the symphonic form. Under the skilled baton of guest conductor Dr. Pamornpan Komolpamorn, both pieces come alive in a powerful celebration of convergence and transition.
