Beautiful Sunday: Magic of Walt Disney


 I've never been one for music, but the Esplanade's Beautiful Sundays are quickly becoming one of the things we look forward to going to each month. June's was the Magic of Walt Disney by the Philharmonic Youth Winds, and boy was it packed!

Look at that crowd!
We got different seats this time, seated behind the orchestra instead of in front of it, and hearing the music upfront was amazing. ...I've realized that posting pictures of the Beautiful Sunday are kind of redundant, so I've taken the time to put together a playlist of the scores used in this performance.


Click the links to listen! (Sorry, I couldn't find medleys of the first two online D: )
1. Opening - Wish Upon a Star medley
2. Mary Poppins medley

I wish I could find better words to describe how amazingly mind-blowing the performance for this Beautiful Sunday was; I'm re-listening to the scores again as I type this and shedding tears as I finish this post up. It was definitely one of the better orchestras we'd been to since we started, and we're looking forward to the next one, Sparks Goes POP! by SparksWinds which falls on 10 July at 3pm. Save the date if you're in Singapore, because the next performance features "light-hearted pop pieces from (SparksWinds') extensive repertoire such as Disco Party, Spice Girls and American Graffiti XX: Michael Jackson Medley." Exciting!
