Taylor’s Symphony Orchestra 2022

Emotions and memories are complex experiences of consciousness that everyone has. Sometimes, it arouses a feeling of joy moments, while other times, it may be sad, anger, disgust, fear, and surprise. Emotions are associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses, a degree of pleasure or displeasure, and often, intertwining with memories too. But, what if memories and emotions can be expressed through melodies? The emotions that no longer stay within ourselves, rather, feel and express them in symphony, echoes with harmonies.

Episodic: Recollection of Fragmented Emotions and Memories is the theme for this year’s Taylor’s Symphony Orchestra 14th Annual Concert. This concert illustrates the consciousness of recollection of a series of fragmented memories and emotions on what has happened, where and when it happened, piecing them back together as a whole. The conductor simply holds a baton as the beacon for all musicians and audiences in recollecting and uniting the memories and emotions with a night full of sounds of music.

Highlight of the concert

Rapid as Wildfires (Liyue Battle Theme I)

Rapid as Wildfires is one of the three battle themes originating from Liyue, one of the nations present in the world of Genshin Impact. Composed by Yu-Peng Chen, the famous fast-tempo rhythm along with the accompanying melodies from the traditional Chinese instruments gives a vibrant illustration of the uniqueness of Liyue.

The Other Side of the Sea from Attack On Titan

A grand and mysterious opening theme, immediately escalates into intense playing of brasses and percussions, giving off strong and impactful marching vibe, preparing to charge into battles for victory.

Spirited Away Suite Reprise

Spirited Away follows the journey of 10-year-old Chihiro who unwittingly stumbles into the spirit realm, where she must learn to survive and find her way back to the human realm. Aided by kindly spirits, she sets out on a quest for both her and her parents' freedom. "Reprise" is a fittingly nostalgic and trimphant end to her journey - one which she will never forget.

Music From Frozen

Bringing back vivid memories of the stories from Frozen in orchestral music, picturing the journey of a princess who sets off on a journey alongside an iceman, his reindeer, and a snowman to find her estranged sister, whose icy powers have inadvertently trapped their kingdom in eternal winter.

Titanic Suite

An epic orchestral depiction of the whole journey of an action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line as the most luxurious liner called the “Ship of Dreams” which carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912.
