After the success of September 30, Like Nothing Else show returns to the Esplanade recital studio on November 4, 2021 with two appointments (4 and 8 pm).
Like Nothing Else is a concert conceived and presented by Composers Society of Singapore (CSS) Full Member Robert Casteels, with the support of the French Embassy and the National Arts Council and under the patronage of the Embassy of Italy in Singapore. This special concert combines songs, two grand pianos, poetry, dance and new technology.
Like Nothing Else will take you in an aquatic journey from Paris to Rome and from Brussels to Singapore. Water connects each piece of the repertoire in the form of rain, dew, tears and rivers. The music includes well known masterpieces by French Impressionist composer Claude Debussy, such as the art song C’est l’extase langoureuse and the piano piece Pagodes, interspersed with extracts from Debussy’s own letters. His music truly sounds like nothing else, hence the concert’s title. The show ends with the climatic premiere of Acqua nel Riflesso, the newly composed work by Robert CASTEELS with sound design in real time, poetry and dance.
(duration 90 min. without intermission)
