Fritz Quartet @ Ferrari Event, Capella Singapore

8 Aug 2010

Today, we spent our National Day Eve performing for the Ferrari Owners' Club Singapore Gala Dinner 2010, held at Capella Sentosa, Singapore.

The dress code of the evening was 60's Glamour Vintage / red&black. For this event, we performed an all-Italian programme, as requested. Among the various famous opera arias that we performed, were Puccini's Nessun Dorma and O Mio Babbino Caro , as well as Casta Diva and Una Furtiva Lagrima - we had performed these two pieces at the concourse last year and it was great to revisit them again for this evening's performance.

We certainly enjoyed ourselves playing for this event, and we got to meet new friends too.

Fritz Quartet @ the Four Seasons Hotel

17 July 2010

Today , the Fritz Quartet had the honor of being invited to perform for the birthday of Selina at the Four Seasons Hotel.

The repertoire of the evening included special requests such as Michael McLean's Tango, Carlos Gardel's Por Una Cabeza as well as Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. We even threw in some Chinese songs for good measure. This was when we received a request from the couple to play the Butterfly Lovers' Concerto, a beautiful piece which we seldom get to perform due to the sad nature of the piece! We also found out that Wesley used to play in an orchestra in his High School days!

The couple had kindly reserved a table for us so that we could enjoy the sumptious buffet spread during our set break. We also got a fantastic view of the fireworks from the Padang, where the National Day rehearsal was taking place.

We later played some tango pieces as the couple serenaded. Very romantic !

Taking our final bows for the evening.

With the birthday girl Selina and Wesley. Our thanks to the beautiful couple for inviting us to be part of your special occasion! It has indeed, been a most enjoyable experience, and we certainly felt very welcomed!
