Fritz Quartet at Grand Hyatt Singapore

Tuesday 28th August
PricewaterhouseCoopers Dinner

The Fritz Quartet was invited to perform for PricewaterhouseCoopers' dinner, held at Grand Hyatt Singapore, Sir Stamford Room. We had performed for PricewaterhouseCoopers previously and we were honored to be invited again. The dinner was hosted by Mr Gautam Banerjee (PwC Singapore Executive Chairman) and the Guest of Honor was Mrs Lim Hwee Hua (Minister Of State for Finance and Transport).

We started off the evening with Grieg's "Morning" from Peer Gynt Suite as the guests mingled at the cocktail area. Half an hour flew by, and the guests streamed into the main ballroom, signalling the start of dinner.

While speeches were being presented, we lounged at the sofas outside the ballroom, waiting to go on stage.

While the first course was served, we proceeded on stage. Special thanks to the Grand Hyatt Hotel staff, who did a marvellous job of setting up the mics for us. Meanwhile, the projector in the room was showing photographs taken earlier in the cocktail session. It was quite surreal seeing our faces beamed to the whole room!

We ended off the night with a rendition of Bengawan Solo, which was well received by the guests.

Special thanks to Yvonne and Cami from PricewaterhouseCoopers, as well as staff from Grand Hyatt.

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

Fritz Quartet at Biopolis

Friday 19 May


This evening, the Fritz Quartet played for I-Group’s Knowledge Fair Dinner, held at Neuros at Biopolis.

We were engaged for 2 sets and we started the night off with Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, before proceeding to quieter music as the guests unwinded after a long day. Por Una Cabeza proved to be a hit with the guests, together with the Butterfly Lovers’ Concerto. We also played Pachebel’s Canon in D and Vivaldi’s “Spring”, from the Four Seasons, as well as Johann Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltz when these pieces were requested.

It was an insightful dinner for members of the Fritz Quartet as we mingled with the guests during our set breaks and discussed the advancement of technology. There was even a concert pianist present at the event, it was just too bad there wasn’t a piano around for us to do a piano quintet!

It had been a tiring day for the Fritz Quartet as we had a performance earlier in the day. Nevertheless, it’s all worth it when we see the smiles on the faces of the guests.


A big thank you to Vanessa for being a great person to work with. You certainly made our day!

"Thanks for the wonderful entertainment on Friday. I heard good reviews about you guys" - Vanessa via sms.
