More Than Music is proud to present our video performances of the complete Beethoven Violin Sonatas. This was a significant milestone and a dream come true for us, especially considering how all our live performances for 2020 were cancelled due to the pandemic.

Watch the performances, along with short spoken introductions on our Facebook playlist.
You can also find the complete performances on Esplanade Offstage, along with programme notes and behind-the-scenes interviews.

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for supporting More than Music. After much deliberation and discussion, we have regretfully decided to postpone “Shall We Dance” due to the current public health concerns over the novel coronavirus. All ticket holders will be refunded in full via Peatix. 

“Shall We Dance” will now take place on 4 & 5 Sept 2020 at the Esplanade Recital Studio featuring the same guest artists: the amazing pianist Albert Tiu and the fantastic choreographer/dancer Amin Alifin. 

Our next concert at the Esplanade Recital Studio on 12 & 13 June 2020 will continue as planned with Schumann’s Piano Quintet and Janacek’s Intimate Letters. 

Please take care and hope to see you at our next concerts!
Sincerely,  Abigail and Jun Hong

More Than Music kicks off the 2020 concert season with a celebration of classical music’s greatest dance hits! Abigail and Jun Hong join forces with distinguished pianist Albert Tiu and special guest dancer/choreographer Amin Alifin for a thrilling exploration of music and dance. From the intimacy of the waltz to the wild abandon of rag-time, dance music captures both the visceral and the refined, revealing the human spirit in all its glory.

Join us for an unforgettable evening and be prepared to be swept off your feet!

Variations and Variables celebrates the synergistic power of chamber music, creating an experience larger than the sum of its parts. Pianist Abigail Sin and violinist Loh Jun Hong join forces to explore notions of evolution and transformation in music. Every twist of fate and every turn of the kaleidoscope reveals new emotional landscapes, leading us far away from home. What is certain is that we will be forever changed by these journeys.

Featuring the mighty Chaconne for Solo Violin by J.S. Bach, Messiaen’s Theme and Variations for Violin and Piano, and selections from Beethoven’s sublime Piano Sonata in E Major Op. 109, this concert will also feature a collaboration with visual artist Yanyun Chen, who was recently presented at the President’s Young Talents 2018 exhibition at Singapore Art Museum.
