Oh Deer! These are pictures we can smell! You would think school band trips to Japan over the years have changed, but it seems that RWinds members young and younger found joy in the same simple things back when they were school band, like playing with these 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒚 cute creatures at the beautiful Nara Deer Park 🦌♥️ In fact, our friends at @rafflessymphonicband so recently paid it a visit just this past June! No deers at Coda this year unfortunately, but we promise it’s going to be just as 𝒇𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍. Stay tuned for more fun memories and see you at Coda XIII on 31 August @ Victoria Concert Hall!
MIGRANTS BAND SINGAPORE LIVE@VCH ATRIUM CODA XIII 31ST AUG 2019 7PM ///// We’re proud and honoured to have Migrants Band Singapore as guest performers at Coda XIII - come early to listen to them up close and personal as they share their stories through their music ///// Migrants Band Singapore was started in 2015 by a group of migrant workers who loved making music. Coming together to jam is a way for them to express their yearning for home in the midst of their line of work, one that has brought them far from family and home. Since their initiation, they have been invited to perform at the Esplanade, workers’ dormitories and the Bangladesh High Commission. With their traditional tunes and their unique stories, let the Migrants Band Singapore share with you their experiences in the camaraderie of music making. Do drop by the atrium at 7pm to catch their performance!
Meet our lovely...strings section?????! Yes, after years of isolation and neglect by the wind community, our string bassists are delighted to finally have the company of other fellow string players ;–) They even found a cardboard friend not far from the band room (swipe right!) Thank you to our new cellist friends for adding so much colour to our music 😌 Listen out for familiar string refrains like in Grieg’s In The Hall of the Mountain King at Coda XIII on the 31st of August – DM this account or contact any friendly RWinds member for tickets!
A Tempo VIII vs A Tempo XXVIII? Some things just don’t change. (and it’s these things that make RWinds happen ˘◡˘) Listen to the musicians from the eras of A Tempo I through XXVIII make music together – 31st August, Victoria Concert Hall (like we said, some things don’t change...) DM this account or contact any friendly member for tickets!
We hope everyone has had a much deserved long weekend! As Coda XIII draws near, we’ll be introducing our lovely musicians for this year and sharing why RWinds means so much to us all ˘◡˘ These are our trumpeters, amongst whom we have Tiong Jin (top row, 2nd from right), one of our band’s most senior members! In fact, for the 2nd year in a row, Tiong Jin is playing alongside his nephew, @eyepatchedjon (Jon, percussion) in RWinds :–,) Like for Tiong Jin, RWinds is a precious opportunity for many of us to relive our younger days in band while also meeting new friends from all walks of life, and it would mean the world to have your support from the audience. Coda XIII is on 31 August, 7.30pm at Victoria Concert Hall — DM this account or contact any friendly RWinds member for tickets!
