Songs of Our Forefathers Part II 先辈的歌（二）之唐风宋雅 [G]
Songs of Our Forefathers Part 2
先辈的歌（二）之唐风宋雅
Presented by Lirica Arts
Continuing from the success of last year’s fully subscribed concert Song of Our Forefathers, Lirica Arts presents Part 2 of the “Songs of Our Forefathers” concert series featuring Chinese art songs in Mandarin as well as in our local vernacular of Cantonese, Hokkien, chartering a voyage into the realm of Chinese Art Song repertoire and exploring the song literature of our forefathers and our local art song tradition.
The evening’s programme focuses on the classical texts of the Tang and Sung period set to music of the contemporary Chinese composers of the 20th and 21st centuries with influences ranging from traditional folk tunes to ancient Chinese classical music and opera.
The concert will feature Singapore renowned opera baritone Martin Ng and soprano Joyce Lee Tung accompanied by Taiwanese pianist Tseng Ching-I.
延续着去年《先辈的歌》系列音乐会首次推出的成功，Lirica Arts将于10月30日在Esplanade Recital Studio呈现《先辈的歌》（二）之唐风宋雅，由本地男中音吴翰卫和女高音李彤担纲演唱，并邀请台湾钢琴家曾庆宜担任音乐会的钢琴伴奏；是一场以中文艺术歌曲为主题的音乐会。
《先辈的歌》（二）之唐风宋雅音乐会的焦点是唐宋两代古诗词艺术歌曲的呈现：曲目结合了唐宋代诗词的古典美和当代西方音乐的韵律美，吟唱出爱情、友情、离别、思乡、怀古、悼念、赏景等迥然不同的情怀，让本地听众耳目一新。
当晚的节目除了呈现以粤语/闽南语演唱的艺术歌曲外也，也包括当代作曲家的歌剧作品选段： 如中国作曲家金湘的《热瓦普恋歌》和台湾作曲家阿镗的《西施》是一场古今中外，雅俗共赏的音乐之旅。
