NTUPE’s first performance for the year 2009 was successfully held at the lobby of the Raffles Hospital on the afternoon of 17th February.  Titled “A Musical Afternoon with NTU Piano Ensemble”, the performance kicked off with The Entertainer, performed by our fellow member, Sophie Yue. The opening pieces, ranging from Chopin to Debussy, caught the attention of passers-by who stopped on their tracks to enjoy our music. The team is also pleased and proud to have invited 2 vocalists from the NTU CAC Choir to perform the piece “The Prayer” with piano improvisation.

Pamphlets displaying details of our upcoming annual concert, Eleganza 2009, were also distributed to the audiences. One of the highlights of the event was when the staff from the Hospital requested our performers to add in additional pieces prior the end of our programme. As a result, a few of our performers jumped at the chance to further display their skills.

All in all, the project achieved its objectives of providing a form of exposure for our fellow members as well as publicity for the Piano Ensemble’s upcoming concert.
