“To me, this was an unforgettable concert… an unforgettable night, because this night created such an emotional upheaval.” -- Sun Chaoyi, Renmin University of China, on CCO’s performance of the Dream of the Red Chamber concert suite.

"Wu's voice… glides and blends with the orchestra wonderfully, every phrase having a beautiful arch.” -- Jin Tielin, renowned professor at the China Conservatory of Music, on Soprano Wu Bixia.

“His insightful understanding and grasp of traditional music culture enables him to render different music styles accurately, bringing out the essence of each piece of music through the orchestra.” -- People’s Music on Conductor Tay Teow Kiat.

The Dream of the Red Chamber concert suite, composed by Wang Liping (王立平), is based on the soundtrack of the 1987 CCTV television adaption of the eponymous classic Chinese novel. Since its debut performance by the City Chinese Orchestra (CCO) in 1999, the suite has gained immense popularity within the Chinese community. After nearly 100 performances staged by numerous orchestras in China and Southeast Asia, CCO is proud to present the suite again in Encore – A Decade of Dreams from the Red Chamber《梦系红楼》— 十年回顾.

Join renowned female soprano Wu Bixia (吴碧霞) as she dazzles you with her rendition of classic songs in the suite, such as Poem of Flower Burial and Longing in Vain. Hailed as the “nightingale of the East and West”, Wu Bixia is the first vocalist in China who is equally proficient in the Chinese traditional school and the western “bel canto” school of opera, and as won numerous international awards of the highest standing.

Performed in Chinese.
