Programme:

V. Fung String Sinfonietta
C. Saint Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso op. 28
Tonight we will also listen to a work by Vivian Fung, entitled String Sinfonietta. The composer herself talks about its strong connections with Chinese and Indonesian folk music. Patterns taken from exotic folklore in a synthesis with figurative melodic lines of individual parts produce an impressive and subtle form.
