Peranakan Place, comprising of Outdoors Cafe, Alley Bar and Acid Bar, created a theme for this year’s Halloween – Halloween Killed The Video Stars. What was unique was that they asked us, the Resonance Quartet, a string quartet, to play music from Video Games to entertain the customers and attract onlookers.

As arrangements for string quartet for Video Games music were not easily available, our cellist, Wen-Bin gamely took up the challenge and arranged the music. Besides looking for suitable music to fit the “Halloween” mood, he had to choose pieces that were more easily recognizable as well. We played music from Final Fantasy, Starcraft, Tetris, Ragnarok Online, Pokemon, and of course, we could not have done without a medley from the Mario Brothers!

And because it was Halloween, we decided to get into the mood as well and dressed up for the gig!

October was indeed a fruitful month for the Resonance Quartet.

We played for Wei Huang and Seok Hui’s wedding at the Mariott for their march-in and the first half of their wedding luncheon.

The couple looks on as a video is played prior to their second march-in.

We were also engaged by the Singapore Institute of Arbitrators for their annual dinner at Marina Mandarin.
