Fritz Quartet at PricewaterhouseCoopers Event

21 June 2007

This evening, the Fritz Quartet was invited to perform at the Retirement Dinner of Mr Phillip Tan from PricewaterhouseCoopers. Important guests included CEOs from various companies as well as a member of parliament. This event was held at the Garden Suite of The Oriental Singapore.

Beautiful!

Angie from PWC had generously arranged dinner for us, so it meant that we had energy to play later on in the evening! Thanks Angie. We also got a private room to ourselves to have our dinner. And it had a marvellous view too.

We were engaged for 2 sets, with the first set consisting of mostly classical tunes such as Schubert's Marche Militaire and Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz. For the second set, we played largely Chinese oldies, as requested.

For this event, we roped in Zhangyi, a close friend of the quartet, to guest play with us. Meanwhile, Bingling, our 2nd violinist, decided that she wanted to play the viola during our set break.

We were all rather amused.

Response to our evening's performance was good, and we are glad that we had made a difference to the evening. A big thank you to Angie Chua from PricewaterhouseCoopers for being a marvellous organiser, as well as the staff from The Oriental for rendering assistance.

"we enjoyed the music and will look out for more opportunities to work together again" --Compliments from Angie
