23 May was Bryan and Jodie’s solemnisation lunch at the quaint Viet Lang restaurant at The Arts House.

Meant as a surprise to the bride Jodie,  her bunch of girlfriends had our Violin Duo (Wen Jin and Jay) play Pachelbel’s Canon in D as she marched-in.

We might be getting a video from the lovely girls and we hope to be able to put it up soon!

Resonance Quartet presents a few pieces from the Tango, Jazz, Broadway and Musical genres!

Theme from New York, New York

Imagine clinking of champagne glasses, lively chatter, and the occasional guffaw amidst a relaxed, charming atmosphere.

It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)

A string quartet arrangement of the 1930s jazz standard by Duke Ellington. Groovy and swingy, it’s a great piece to liven up the atmosphere!

I Dreamed A Dream

Familiar? “I Dreamed a Dream” is a song from the musical Les Misérables which resurged to popularity after Susan Boyle sang it for Britain’s Got Talent.

Don’t Cry For Me Argentina

A familiar favourite from the musical Evita. A strong and emotional piece set to an Argentinian-flavoured tango beat.

Over The Rainbow

Over The Rainbow is a popular classic ballad from the movie The Wizard of Oz.

See our repertoire/videos section for more videos including those from the Classical genre. Need a special song request? Just drop us a message at enquiry@resonancequartet.com or via our Contact page.

“Butterfly Dreams” 梦叠蝶梦 – Dance Musical was performed on 25 July 2009 (3pm and 8pm at Victoria Theatre). Resonance Quartet was part of the live fusion ensemble which comprised 6 violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos, a double bass, a pipa, a chinese flute, a piano, 2 guitars, a keyboard and percussion. The dance troupe is Dance Ensemble Singapore (DES) and Music Director (with an acting role thrown in as well) was Jiu Jian – a singer in the 90’s and more recently known as a judge for SuperBand08. Nick Shen was cast as one of the main actors – his stardom apparent when his female teen fans somehow managed to get into the backstage area after the Matinée. Singers from Echo Music provided (back-up) vocals.  Late nights were common fare as the team re-worked both music and script to improve coherence. Extremely tiring but interesting experience.
