Tarantella - Dance in Symphony

Date: 5 June 2026, Friday
Time: 1900 (doors open at 1830)
Venue: SOTA Concert Hall

The evening begins with the infectious rhythms of Danzón No. 2, a vibrant work that sets the stage alight with swagger, warmth, and irresistible dance spirit. Playful colours and bold vitality follow in Milhaud’s Cello Concerto No. 1 and Korngold’s Cello Concerto in C major. After the interval, the celebration reaches its joyful climax with Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 which brings the night to a triumphant and uplifting close.

This semester, NTUSO is joined by soloist Loke Hoe Kit, one of Singapore’s leading cellists. Described by The Straits Times as “probably the most visible local cellist to emerge” from his generation.

Tarantella: Dance in Symphony promises an unforgettable musical journey — a night of colour, celebration, and motion, where every rhythm invites dance and every melody shines.
