Fritz Quartet @ The Equinox

17 July 2008
Equinox Complex, Swissôtel The Stamford
ACR Capital Holdings Pte Ltd


It was with excitement and anticipation that we stepped into the lift that would bring us to one of the highest points in Singapore.

It was actually quite an interesting experience stepping into Equinox in the daytime. The lift, which brought us to our desired level in less than a minute, opened its doors to a picaresque view of Singapore on a rainy afternoon.

However, there was not much time to be spent admiring the view as the event had been brought forward with the meeting ending earlier than estimated. We were ready in ten minutes and the guests started streaming in through the open doors, marking the start of the cocktail event. We performed continuously for an hour.
Post-performance, several guests came up to thank us for providing a delightful ambience for the cocktail event.

Our gracious hosts from ACR Capital Holdings Pte Ltd, also urged us towards the sumptious buffet spread, ranging from delectable sushi to exquisite Peking duck.

Special thanks to Hwee Ting and Jiali for inviting us to perform for the event!

Finally we had time to admire the view from the top. It had stopped raining by then.

Fritz Quartet @ SIM-UB Commencement Ceremony

11 July 2008
SIM-UB Commencement Ceremony
SIM Headquarters, Grand Hall


Today, the Fritz Quartet was invited to perform for the SIM-UB Commencement Ceremony, attended by friends and family of the graduates.

Our program was arranged as such:

Prelude
1. Por Una Cabeza : Carlos Gadel
2. Humoresque
3. Over the rainbow
4. Gavotte (Bach)

1st Interlude
1. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

2nd Interlude
1. Blue Tango
2. Theme from New York New York

Having thought initially that the "Prelude" and "Interludes" stated in the program would be just short performances by the string quartet, perhaps to fill time for movement on and off the stage, we were surprised to hear our name being formally announced by the emcee. We were even more surprised to realise that everyone in the Grand Hall was seated quietly in their seats waiting to watch us! Not to mention, various deans and professors watched over us from behind us on stage as well!

It has been a pleasure for Fritz Quartet to be a part of the SIM-UB Commencement Ceremony.

Once again, congratulations to the graduates!

Fritz Quartet @ Raffles City Convention Centre, Olivia Ballroom

25 June 2008
Raffles City Convention Centre
Olivia Ballroom
Colliers International


We were invited by Colliers International to perform for their “Power Networking Luncheon” at the Raffles City Convention Centre. The luncheon was part of Real Estate Investment World (REIW) Asia 2008, a 4-day business festival that showcases products, strategies, personalities and leading companies that comprise the Asian Real Estate investment marketplace.


The guests were made up of distinguished and elite professionals of the real estate industry and had just finished a seminar before convening for the luncheon at the Olivia Ballroom. We were positioned on stage and performed a broadway repertoire with a special request of Pachelbel’s Canon in D while the guests lunched.

A big thank you to Doris from Colliers International and Estelle from Terrapinn for inviting us to perform for the event.
