In Threads of Time by NUS Chinese Orchestra, under the baton of Moses Gay, draws an aural line from past to present, showcasing music’s ability to both preserve traditions and find new paths to progress.

The journey begins with Gada Meilin, an symphonic poem that evokes a legendary hero’s epic journey though sweeping melodies and rugged rhythms. The programme then moves into the present with Confluence, which infuses Chinese orchestral timbres with global influences. Composed by Singaporean Wang Chenwei, the piece evokes the interplay of culture and modernity which characterises contemporary Singapore.
