Nowell, Nowell! Christmas Music from Britain, Ireland & Scotland
Red Dot Baroque's beloved Yuletide concerts are back this year, under the leadership of Artistic Director Alan Choo. Featuring music from England, Ireland and Scotland, this concert explores just how thin the walls between Baroque and folk music are.
Composed dances by Henry Purcell and Francesco Geminiani often have a strong folk influence, sometimes even quoting popular tunes of the day. The blind harper Turlough O'Carolan composed Irish tunes and played them across the country, becoming Ireland's national composer. Traditional tunes such as the Wexford Carol and the Breton Carol are timeless, enduring from well before the Baroque period to present day.
Bagpipes and Irish tin whistles join the lineup of Baroque period instruments in this crossover programme, and audience members are invited to join their voices in a sing-a-long segment of English carols at the end of the programme, realising the spirit of Christmas as a community.

Chamber Music Week: Opening Gala – The Gabrieli Project
The Chamber Music Week Opening Gala – The Gabrieli Project, directed by Artistic Director Alan Choo, features YST students alongside members of YST Ensemble-in-Residence Red Dot Baroque in the grand polychoral music from 17th-century San Marco Cathedral in Venice. Composers such as Giovanni Gabrieli, Francesco Cavalli and Biagio Marini celebrated the unique architecture of the Cathedral and its many balconies by writing music for multiple instrumental choirs, each to be performed from different balconies and locations.
In the context of 21st Century YST Conservatory, the similarly unique structure of the YST building will be utilized to bring out the call-and-response and echo effects of the music. Audiences travel together with the musicians to experience the music in multiple stations in the building, culminating in the epic Canzon for 22 parts in 5 instrumental choirs, by Giovanni Gabrieli in the concert hall. An exciting immersive experience not to be missed!

The Tastes Reunited
In 1724, François Couperin coined the term ‘Les Goûts-réunis’, or ‘The Tastes Reunited’, where he argued that the perfect music comes from a unification of both the dramatic Italian style and the elegant French style. 300 years later, YST Ensemble-in-Residence Red Dot Baroque celebrates this harmony of influences with a programme of music from Baroque France that marries the best of both worlds. Blavet’s Flute Concerto and Leclair’s Violin Concerto contain flashy virtuosic writing alongside a sense of elegant restraint, while the timeless operatic music of Rameau prevails with a selection of arias and dances from his famous opera, Hippolyte et Aricie.
Admission is free!

Viva Italia! - Songs & Dances from Baroque Italy

A Grand Tour of Italy
Red Dot Baroque embarks on an exciting artistic exchange with internationally-renowned harpsichordist, Alberto Busettini. Artistic Director of Risonanze Festival (Italy) and harpsichordist at the Teatro La Fenice and with Contrarco Baroque, Alberto makes his Asian debut with Red Dot Baroque as Guest Director (maestro al cembalo) and harpsichordist in A Grand Tour of Italy.
Historically, the Grand Tour was a customary coming-of-age undertaking in Enlightenment Europe, where young men of means and status embarked on an extended journey throughout the region, with Italy as a key destination. The Grand Tour afforded cultural and social exposure–immersing a fledgling aristocrat in the Renaissance ideals of society, art, and music across the European continent.
On 14 September 2024, join Red Dot Baroque for our very own Grand Tour in A Grand Tour of Italy, featuring notable masterworks from three of the most influential cities in Renaissance Italy – Rome, Naples and Venice. Soloists Leow Rui Qing (oboe) and Teng Xiang Ting (soprano) feature alongside Alberto in this compelling programme.

Sprezzatura
Sprezzatura – An effortless nonchalance. A careless grace. The zenith of virtuosity. Amidst songs of ardent love and intense heartbreak, sprezzatura is an air which prevails in the music of 17th-century Italian composers such as Monteverdi, Cavalli and Strozzi. This exciting collaboration between Italy's La Risonanza and Red Dot Baroque explores this corner of Baroque repertory rarely performed in Singapore, played on instruments such as the theorbo, recorder and sackbut – the predecessor of the trombone.
