MPYC did it once again!
On 13 May 2007, MPYC collaborated with
the International Festival Chorus (IFC) in the concert ‘A Musical
Extravaganza’, singing delightful tunes from Broadway musicals, such as Les
Miserables and the Andrew Lloyd Webber medley. Apart from the combined
items (some of which were sung to the accompaniment of the Singapore
Polytechnic Symphonic Band), MPYC presented a solo item of the West Side
Story medley, exemplifying the choir’s showmanship. Not only had the
choristers sung, but also showed off their colourful retro costumes and
tidy dance steps. The performance received favourable reviews, with the
audience complimenting the colourful and impressive presentation.
Upcoming Events
He Comes At Christmastide
8 December 2007, Esplanade Concert Hall
Come December, MPYC will collaborate
once again with IFC to perform in a year-end concert organized by the
Singapore Choral Association. In an effort to spread early Christmas cheer,
the combined chorus will perform He comes at Christmastide, a 20-minute
cantata by American composer Robert H. Young.
Dr Young is renowned for his gorgeous
acappella writing. To date, he has more then 90 published choral
compositions in print. He comes at Christmastide is a medley of Advent and
Christmas Anthems composed for mixed choir and strings.
Mark this date in your diary to
celebrate Christmas in advance with MPYC and IFC!
