Chamber Music at The Courtyard @ Cheong Fatt Tze Penang

In a picturesque European village, as spring bloomed, a trio of musicians gathered in the town square, their melodies painting tales of love and longing. With Richard Strauss’s enchanting compositions like “Morgen,” “Heimliche Aufforderung,” and “Cäcilie,” they evoked romantic dreams and hidden desires, while “Allerseelen” and “Zueignung” honored memories of the departed. Robert Schumann’s “Fantasiestück” added whimsy to the evening, but it was the French composers Jules Massenet and Francis Poulenc who captivated with their melancholic elegance and playful charm. Camille Saint-Saëns’s lively “Tryptique” and “Danse Macabre” brought the festivities to a jubilant close, leaving the villagers enchanted and eager for more musical adventures under the starlit sky.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of spring melodies, where romantic dreams, hidden desires and musical bliss that will linger after the final notes fade.
