TITANIC MASTERPIECES
On OMM-WAYO:
When heavens collide, a big bang usually results. This joint concert paired the best young musical outfits from Singapore and Perth, Western Australia. Chang Tou Liang, 16 December 2009, The Straits Times – Life!
On Alexandre da Costa:
Prodigious technique, beautiful sound and above all a direct, expressive and very varied musicality; we are in front of one of the great violinists of today. Ramon Avello: El Comercio Digital, Spain

WAYO Music Director, Peter Moore, will lead the combined forces in a special expanded orchestration of Beethoven’s monumental Fifth Symphony by Gustav Mahler, before OMM’s Music Director, Chan Tze Law brings his critically acclaimed direction of Mahler’s own First Symphony Symphony to the fore.
Superstar violinist Alexandre da Costa adds a sprinkling of stardust with Sarasate’s succulent Zigeunerweisen.
