Hello 4G if you are interested in going for Mr Hor's concert tomorrow (5th Sept) please continue reading this post :D





"I'm very surprised and touched that most of you would like to come for my concert. Basically I'll be performing with a choir, so pleae don't expect any solo from me. Lol.



Details as below:

Title: Mendelssohn and Beyond
Performing group: The Philharmonic Chamber Choir
Date: 5 Sep 09
Time: 8.00pm (Do not be late!!!)
Venue: Esplanade Recital Studio (near the restaurants Ichiban-Boshi and Simply Peranakan)
Price: $20 (+ $3 SISTIC Charge) = $23*
Dress code: What you wore for C Ling will be fine.
Where to buy tickets: SISTIC outlets (nearest one near the school is Anchorpoint. Please click the link for a list of SISTIC outlets where you can buy tickets.) http://www.sistic.com.sg/portal/dt?dt.isPortletRequest=true&dt.action=process&dt.provider=PortletWindowProcessChannel&dt.windowProvider.targetPortletChannel=JSPTabContainer/sWhereToBuyTickets/Agent&dt.containerName=JSPTabContainer/sWhereToBuyTickets&dt.windowProvider.currentChannelMode=VIEW&dt.window.portletAction=RENDER


*Important: Schools will be able to use the Tote Board Arts Grant to subsidise 60% (excluding GST) of ticket price for the concert on 5 September 2009 only.

What this means is students need to pay only 40% of the ticket price. However due to time constraints (so last minute!) I need you to pay the full student price first and keep your ticket stub carefully after the concert and write your name on it to claim back the 60%. That will take some time after school reopens.

Alternatively you can pass me the ticket stubs immediately after the concert.


Thank you very much for coordinating.

Anyway he attached a pdf on concert etiquette, please read!


Here are some guidelines about etiquette and courtesy at a choral concert. It is important
to remember that attending a classical concert is very different from going to a movie or a
rock concert, or of watching a movie at a theater or on television. Most of these "rules"
serve to provide the best possible listening environment for the audience and for the
performers on stage, and others are simply the result of traditions that have evolved
through the years. The rule of thumb in classical concert etiquette is to be considerate of
the performers and of other audience members, and not cause distractions that will
disturb the atmosphere of the performance.

Here is a short list of common "rules" of etiquette for attending a classical concert:

1. Be on time. Don't be the last one to be seated, and if you arrive after a piece has started
wait until the piece is over before finding your seat.

2. Don't talk or whisper during a performance. Remember that the performers can hear
you every bit as well as you can hear them.

3. Be sure to turn off any cell phones, pagers or wristwatches that can make noises before
entering a concert.

4. Stay seated except for intermission and the end of the concert, unless you are truly ill
and need to leave the concert hall.

5. Don't clap until you're certain that a piece is finished. If the piece has several sections,
it is usually not appropriate to clap between the sections. When in doubt, wait to see what
the rest of the audience is doing; you don't have to be the first to applaud.

6. Whistling, whooping or shouting is not appropriate at a classical concert, although
occasionally someone will call 'bravo' after a particularly fine performance.

7. Every concert does not automatically conclude with a standing ovation.

8. You should not eat or drink anything in the concert space, including candy, where the
wrapper can make a particularly distracting noise.

9. Be discreet in the use of your program during the performance. Many people do refer
to their program during a piece, especially if they are following the text of a choral piece,
but be cautious that you don't drop it or make noisy page turns.

10. Above all, enjoy the music. Everybody experiences concerts in different ways; some
people closely follow the printed program during a piece, some listen with their eyes
closed, some follow the conductor's every gesture, some do all of these and more. The
important thing is to help create and sustain an environment where everyone in the hall
can totally immerse himself or herself in the beauty and magic of the live performance of
fine music.







So bring $23 for tomorrow for the ticket first and you'll get the rest back when school reopens :)

If you confirm want to go please msn/sms/call me latest by 12pm tomorrow. Best if by 11pm tonight 'cause need collate. Tyvm!
