NUS Wind Symphony: In Search of What Remains

In Search of What Remains by NUS Wind Symphony traces parallel journeys across catastrophe-stricken worlds in search of survival and hope.

The featured repertoire includes Benjamin Yeo’s At the Break of Gondwana, which captures the aftermath of a seismic rupture, and Gloriosa by Yasuhide Ito, a stirring portrait of faith in the face of annihilation. The evening will also debut a new commission by Lee Jin Jun, as well as a dark reimagining of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

This brand-new piece by Lee Jin Jun brings the Merlion to life as it journeys through a full day in Singapore, from calm moments to the rush of the city, told through vibrant and engaging music.

After the concert, the sheet music for A Day in the Life of Merlion will be available for wind bands upon request, so your band could even play it.
