Spectrum Dreams and Mirages by Roberto Alvarez

"Trust those who seek the truth but doubt those who say they have found it." André Gide Not everything is as it seems. We follow our dreams to the land with no frontiers, where time no longer means what we think. Traditions from centuries ago melt with new trends: ancient instruments play new tunes, and old melodies are brought to the present by our contemporaries. Three of Singapore's most sought-after musicians, flautist Roberto Álvarez, harpsichordist Tien Yang and pianist Shane Thio join forces to bring a programme of Singapore and world premieres. New pieces composed for the flute, harpsichord and piano in different combinations will break a few rules and sweep away stereotypes of harpsichord music.
