Pump Up Your Adrenaline With The First-ever Star Wars Orchestra In Singapore Before The Premiere Of The Last Jedi On 15th December 2017!

Hi Huneybees,

The worldwide screening of the much anticipated Star Wars: The Last Jedi , the second film of the sequel trilogy, is just weeks away and to pump up the excitement among millions of Star Was fans around the region, Disney Concert has brought the first-ever official Star Wars concert to Singapore and I am so happy to have the opportunity to catch part of the closed door dress rehearsal as well as an interview with orchestra conductor Nicholas Buc.

A passionate music and film enthusiast, Nicholas Buc is one of few conductors in the world that is specialized in bring music and film into Live concert setting as this requires very specific and unique style of conducting to synchronize the music with the picture.

Nicholas has a little video screen in front of him while he conducts so that he could have the visual reference points to make sure that the music hits the right moment with the picture, such as when Kylo Ren strikes with his crossguard lightsaber or a TIE Fighters chasing after the millennium falcon.

With 8 years of experience under his sleeve since started conducting his first film concert - Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock - Nicholas is a big Star Wars fan and picks Rey (played by Daisy Ridley) as his favorite character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens for her strong character and her teeth!

If he has it his way, you might be able to catch him doning a stormtrooper suit and conducting in his favourite green lightsaber in exchange for his conductor suit and baton at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens concert that runs from 29th to 31st October 2017 at Esplanade Theatre in Singapore.

Tickets for this first-ever official Star Wars concert is now on sales at this SISTIC link.

If you are a diehard Star Wars fan, this is definitely a concert not to be missed!

May the force be with you.

Star Wars and Beyond, The Iconic Film Scores of John Williams Coming This March 2016

Hi Huneybees,

Join me - Darth Huney to the Galaxy Far, Far Away this March as the MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands gets transformed for a musical voyage through a galaxy of well known film scores of John Williams with electrifying multi-coloured light, laser displays and a pyrotechnic finale

Hailing direct from the UK, Star Wars and Beyond, The Iconic Film Scores of John Williams will open in March 2016 for 3 shows only. 

Film scores of John Williams have been accompanying us through the moments of ups and downs as we watch the iconic movies like Jaws, Jurassic Park, E.T, Harry Potter, Superman and one of the most epic scores of all time - Star Wars!

John Williams, an American composer, conductor, and pianist with a career spanning over six decades, has composed all these popular and recognizable film scores in cinematic history and these magnificent music masterpieces remain as popular today. Just a note from the pieces, you can already relive that moment when Dinosaurs first hit the screen, when that big shark had its mouth wide open hungry for 'food' or that favourite moment of mine - when Luke Skywalker racing through the Death Star maze as he avoids and attacks those TIE fighters!

The Star Wars and Beyond, The Iconic Film Scores of John Williams is presented by Base Entertainment and staged in association with Raymond Gubbay Ltd to bring each piece of music scores to life by a magnificent light and laser display stunningly programmed to perfectly complement each musical score. 

This spectacular lighting display is designed by Durham Marenghi who has recently been appointed as the lighting designer for the Rio 2016 Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies and the concert will be introduced and conducted by the irrepressible showman Anthony Inglis, taking charge of the full 80 piece Singapore Metropolitan Festival Orchestra.

Anthony Inglis, has been described in the UK press as “one of Britain’s most popular conductors” (Manchester Evening News). Upon leaving Marlborough College, he studied music at The Royal College of Music and now leads a busy international conducting career, appearing with some of the greatest orchestras in concert halls and recording studios around the world, including the Royal Albert Hall, where with over 250 conducting performances to his credit, he has been credited as the most frequent visiting artist. Among the orchestras he has conducted are the four main London independent orchestras (LSO, RPO, LPO and Philharmonia), all the British independent and most BBC orchestras, the Melbourne, Sydney, Gothenburg, Singapore symphony orchestras and the Warsaw and Israel Philharmonic Orchestras.  He is currently Music Director of The National Symphony Orchestra in London and is Music Supervisor/Consultant for The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre, a show he has been with for 27 years.
