SYNOPSIS
"Akiko Yano is a world class songwriter with a clear, gentle, wide-ranging voice…an accomplished, endearing performer who might be a Japanese Carole King, Joni Mitchell or Meredith Monk." - New York Times
Kyoto-based electronic musician Rei Harakami, once dubbed the “Aphex Twin from the land of the rising sun”, mixes with a Hard Disc recorder. A sought after producer and collaborator for artists such as UA and Coldcut, he has released acclaimed albums and wowed audiences at international festivals such as Weimar Jazz Festival, Fuji Rock Festival and Sonar 2005.
In 2003, the two began collaborating on a project they named “yanokami”. The result - a happy electronic mélange of moody new wave, fusion, jazz balladry, pop and folk - has gotten rave reviews since its release in August 2007.

Sibelius Symphony Cycle
Sibelius Symphony Cycle
Johan Julius Christian Jean Sibelius
A singapore premiere
30 March 2008 / Sunday / 7.30pm
/ Esplanade Concert Hall
brought to you by The Philharmonic Orchestra / Singapore
Lim Yau / Conductor
Northern Exposure. Loneliness. Individualism. Desire to be significant. Respected.
Sibelius is in the high period of the early 1900s, where artists sought their own style; one of which remains deeply admired today by fans, musicians and scholars alike.
New world open when he unveiled the intellectual monolith of the Fourth Symphony, a work whose austerity and ingeniuty still drops jaws. His glorious Second Symphony remains a concert favourite, a legacy of Romantic magnificence and one symbol of Sibelius deeply human heart.
The two symphonies form indispensible chapters in an epic symphonic journey that The Philharmonic Orchestra is undertaking. Follow the Philharmonic Orchestra into the cosmic, then join them in celebration of the irrepressible human spirit.
