Resound Collective Limited (FY2023)
re:Sound Chamber Orchestra
Jeremy Monteiro & Resound Collective’s first
Symphonic Jazz album, Tapestry Live, was released
on 19 February 2024, reaching Number 1 on the
iTunes Singapore Instrumental charts.
Singapore Chamber Music
Festival 2024
RCL revived the Singapore Chamber Music Festival
(SCMF) in January 2024, in response to the fact that
the profile and appreciation of chamber music has
not grown along with the broader growth of classical
music in Singapore. Beyond presenting chamber
concerts, SCMF had explicit objectives of bringing
together chamber music exponents, increasing the
chamber music capabilities of local and regional
musicians (young, mature, amateur, professional)
and promoting a life-long chamber music culture.
SCMF is part of RCL’s thrust to increase community
involvement in chamber music.
The Chamber Music Academy received enthusiastic
response, with 28 chamber groups participating in its
workshops and coaching sessions. This was followed
by four Festival Concerts, which were distinctly
positioned from each other, featuring artists such as
Jonathan Ong, Aoi Trio from Japan, Toh Chee-Hung,
YST faculty and SCMF alumni.
The SCMF was first run in 2003 and had been
dormant for over a decade. After this extended
hiatus, the interest in the Festival Concerts
and Chamber Music Academy was heartening,
and Resound Collective will partner the YST
Conservatory of Music to present SCMF biennially.
The next edition of the Festival will be held in 2026.
Concordia Quartet
Concordia Quartet had the honour to be selected
as one of the four advanced string quartets at the
Harpa International Music Academy (HIMA) Ohio. At
this intensive string quartet programme, they were
coached daily by renowned chamber musicians Sibbi
Bernhardsson (former violinist of Pacifica Quartet),
Mari Sato (former violinist of Cavani string quartet),
Eric Wong (violist of Blair string quartet, former
violist of Cavani string quartet), and Amit Even-Tov
(Cellist of Ariel string quartet) and presented several
performances.
On their return, in September 2023, they presented
the programme that they had worked on during the
festival, where the Straits Times commented that
the quartet “has potential to be one of Singapore’s
most important ensembles.”
In late January 2024, Concordia Quartet was the
festival quartet at the Singapore Chamber Music
Festival 2024, where members took on roles as artist
faculty to coach aspiring chamber music students,
and partnered with guest artists from around the
world in a series of chamber concerts.
