Fritz Quartet @ The Equinox

2008-07-30T23:52:00.008+08:00

17 July 2008
Equinox Complex, Swissôtel The Stamford
ACR Capital Holdings Pte Ltd

It was with excitement and anticipation that we stepped into the lift that would bring us to one of the highest points in Singapore.

It was actually quite an interesting experience stepping into Equinox in the daytime. The lift, which brought us to our desired level in less than a minute, opened its doors to a picaresque view of Singapore on a rainy afternoon.

However, there was not much time to be spent admiring the view as the event had been brought forward with the meeting ending earlier than estimated. We were ready in ten minutes and the guests started streaming in through the open doors, marking the start of the cocktail event. We performed continuously for an hour.

Post-performance, several guests came up to thank us for providing a delightful ambience for the cocktail event.

Our gracious hosts from ACR Capital Holdings Pte Ltd, also urged us towards the sumptious buffet spread, ranging from delectable sushi to exquisite Peking duck.

Special thanks to Hwee Ting and Jiali for inviting us to perform for the event!

Finally we had time to admire the view from the top. It had stopped raining by then.

Fritz Quartet @ SIM-UB Commencement Ceremony

2008-07-23T13:27:00.003+08:00

11 July 2008
SIM-UB Commencement Ceremony
SIM Headquarters, Grand Hall

Today, the Fritz Quartet was invited to perform for the SIM-UB Commencement Ceremony, attended by friends and family of the graduates.

Our program was arranged as such:

Prelude
1. Por Una Cabeza : Carlos Gadel
2. Humoresque
3. Over the rainbow
4. Gavotte (Bach)

1st Interlude
1. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

2nd Interlude
1. Blue Tango
2. Theme from New York New York

Having thought initially that the "Prelude" and "Interludes" stated in the program would be just short performances by the string quartet, perhaps to fill time for movement on and off the stage, we were surprised to hear our name being formally announced by the emcee. We were even more surprised to realise that everyone in the Grand Hall was seated quietly in their seats waiting to watch us! Not to mention, various deans and professors watched over us from behind us on stage as well!

It has been a pleasure for Fritz Quartet to be a part of the SIM-UB Commencement Ceremony.

Once again, congratulations to the graduates!

Fritz Quartet @ Raffles City Convention Centre, Olivia Ballroom

25 June 2008
Raffles City Convention Centre
Olivia Ballroom
Colliers International

We were invited by Colliers International to perform for their “Power Networking Luncheon” at the Raffles City Convention Centre. The luncheon was part of Real Estate Investment World (REIW) Asia 2008, a 4-day business festival that showcases products, strategies, personalities and leading companies that comprise the Asian Real Estate investment marketplace.

The guests were made up of distinguished and elite professionals of the real estate industry and had just finished a seminar before convening for the luncheon at the Olivia Ballroom. We were positioned on stage and performed a broadway repertoire with a special request of Pachelbel’s Canon in D while the guests lunched.

A big thank you to Doris from Colliers International and Estelle from Terrapinn for inviting us to perform for the event.

24 May 2008
Wedding of Kwang Seng and Dorcas

As Kwang Seng had composed a song for his bride, we arrived early at Chijmes Hall for a sound-check and rehearsal with the band prior to the wedding dinner. Taking the stage with us for the special item was Andrea on keyboard, Julia on flute, Arun on guitar, Jeremy on drums and Reg on bass. It was no joke trying to squeeze 9 people, including the quartet on the tiny stage, and at some instances we were worried we might start whacking each other in the face accidentally with our instruments.

Soundcheck : Tze Chuan, with Julia at the background

Soundcheck: Bingling and Andrea smiling for the camera

The soundcheck took much longer than expected but we managed to do a quick run through with Kwang Seng, who by the way, is a really great singer! As guests started streaming in for the cocktail reception, it was time to end the rehearsal, which meant that we had an hour off for dinner nearby.

We started off the first set with mainly popular classical pieces such as Vivaldi’s Winter Evening, Boccherini’s Minuet, Bach’s Air and Pachelbel’s Canon. The second was set to be lively with popular broadway songs such as New York New York and Can You Feel the Love Tonight, as well as upbeat classical pieces such as Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Barber of Seville.

Many thanks to the musicians for making space for us on stage, the sound guys, wedding coordinators and most importantly, to Kwang Seng and Dorcas for inviting us to be a part of your very special occasion.

Today, the Fritz Quartet was invited to play for the HSBC Wealth Management Seminar held at the Asian Civilisations Museum.

We performed in the Shaw Foundation Foyer, where guests mingled during the cocktail reception.

We were especially fascinated by the ice sculpture

After our last song, several guests came up to us to congratulate us and thank us for making their evening.

Compliments from Mr Shabaz Hameed, Business Development Manager, HSBC :

"Thank you to your team and yourself for performing for us last night.

I have had some great feedback from our clients, and they very much enjoyed your performance. "

Fritz Quartet @ ComfortDelGro 5th Anniversary Celebrations

2008-04-17T10:29:00.001+08:00

28 March

This was our third time performing at Ritz Carlton for the month. It was for another transport related event, but this time, it was for ComfortDelGro 5th Anniversary Celebrations. We got quite a shock when we saw the program schedule for the night. The ambitious program had about 5 performances going on throughout the night, amidst the prize-giving ceremony and speeches. No wonder the event managers were all over the place coordinating and making sure the event ran smoothly.

As we were to perform in between the other performances, speeches and prize-giving ceremonies, we were to be on standby throughout the night (ie: we had no time for dinner).

Standing by.

It was rather tiring, but we soldiered on nonetheless. When the event ended, most of us were glad that it was a Saturday the next day!

Kudos to the event managers from Zoosh Pte Ltd. for running such a complex event!

P.S: Interestingly, there was a Chinese interpreter situated in a soundproof cubicle close to us translating for the event.

Fritz Quartet @ Bayer Schering Pharmaceutical Dinner: St Regis

2008-03-27T23:27:00.000+08:00

26 March 08

We were engaged again by Sophia from Rubix Cube to perform for the Bayer Schering Pharmaceutical Dinner at the Consulate Room, St Regis.

It was a reunion of sorts as we had worked with Sophia earlier for the Cevarix Corporate Seminar. Coincidentally, the floor captain in-charge of the event was also the same coordinator for Mark and Soo Yeon’s wedding held at the St Regis Ballroom!

We were situated on a slightly raised platform at the front of the room. However, as it was a very intimate setting, with only 5 tables, it also meant that we were in close proximity to the guests. It was a challenge for us to keep our volume down without losing the dynamics of the music , as we did not wish to be intrusive to the conversations going on. Thank goodness we were not mic-ed up!

When our performance was over, we were rewarded with applause and happy smiles! It was indeed a great way to end our evening!

Fritz Quartet @ Land Transport Excellence Awards Presentation Ceremony 2008

2008-03-20T03:10:00.006+08:00

18 March

Having just performed at the Chihuly Room on the 8th of March, we were reunited with Ritz Carlton Hotel for tonight's event.

It was indeed a pleasure to finally meet Kelvin Kang, Events Director of Superstar Special Events, after months of email and phone exchanges.

We were situated outside the ballroom for the cocktail reception, before shifting into the ballroom for the dinner.

It was a rather huge event judging from the massive crowd gathered outside the ballroom waiting for the event to start!

The ballroom was quite a sight to behold, and it truly lived up to the description given on their website :

“California elegance combined with contemporary accents are the hallmarks for our largest event room. The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom features majestic Bohemian crystal chandeliers, exquisite muted aqua blue wall coverings with a modern floral design in platinum accented with antique white decorative wood moldings. The walls are complimented by warm chocolate floor coverings with a coco background, aqua boarder and a pale sand sea fern pattern.”

Mic-ed up and ready to perform, we began our 2nd set for the evening in the ballroom, while pausing occasionally for the speeches and award presentations.

The Guest-of-Honour for tonight's event was Mr Raymond Lim, Minister for Transport and Second Minister for Foreign Affairs.

With dinner being served, the marvellous aroma was making us hungry! Luckily, we managed to scramble off for a quick bite at Marina Square during our break before resuming our third set for the night.

At the end of the event, Kelvin came over to thank us and complimented us on a job well done. He also expressed his interest in engaging us for future events. Thanks Kelvin! It was great working with you too!

An interesting titbit:
When quizzed on why he had engaged the quartet for such a high-profile event, despite it being the first time working with us, Kelvin commented that Tze Chuan’s "honest face" made him feel that he could trust us. Tze Chuan was of course, over the moon, while the rest of us rolled on the floor in laughter by the "honest face" comment.

Fritz Quartet @ Meritus Mandarin

2008-03-03T19:19:00.003+08:00

02 March 2008

Today we performed for the WIN Awards Dinner at Meritus Mandarin.

We were scheduled to perform at 8.50pm but the programme was shifted forward.

The audience loved our renditions of 夜来香 (ye lai xiang), 月亮代表我的心 (yue liang dai biao wo de xin) and 梁祝 (liang zhu or Butterfly Lovers Concerto) as we were rewarded with warm applause after each piece.

Fritz Quartet with Stephanie from Original Media, our friendly and spunky coordinator for the evening.

Thank you to Joan from Original Media as well for the numerous email exchanges and phonecalls. It was great working with you. :)

Fritz Quartet @ St. Regis

2008-02-26T18:48:00.001+08:00

23 February 2008
St Regis Hotel Ballroom

After our performance at the Esplanade Library, we headed down to St Regis to perform for a Cervarix corporate seminar on the treatment of cervical cancer. As the Q&A session took longer than expected, we had too much time to entertain ourselves. Didn't help that we were still on a post-performance adrenalin rush.

(Friends have complained that they don't see enough of Johnny's pictures here, so here are some photos of Johnny having some fun with the bouquet of flowers that Max got from his fans at the Esplanade Library.)

Johnny and Max having a friendly exchange.

Meanwhile the Q & A session was still in progress, so we adjourned to the sofas outside and listened to the chill lounge live piano music.

We were then informed that it might be much better to shift our performance from the stage in the ballroom to the buffet area. And this we did in record breaking time.

Besides playing familiar movie theme songs, we performed some of the zesty tango pieces we had performed earlier at the library. Several guests gathered to enjoy the music while having their very delicious looking high-tea.

Many thanks to Sophia from Rubix Cube for having us at the event. Not to mention the pretty photos you have taken for us!

Fritz Quartet Presents Tango, Library @ Esplanade

2008-02-25T14:59:00.005+08:00

Fritz Quartet Presents: Tango!
23 Feb 2008 (Saturday)
Library @ Esplanade , Open Stage
2pm-3pm

It has always been our wish to perform at different venues and to share our love for music with more people.

When we were offered the opportunity to perform at the Library @ Esplanade, we were extremely excited, as it offers an intimate performing space.

As the Tango is conventionally associated with the sensual and the erotic, we decided, instead to showcase other facets of tango, such as its close ties with the everyday life of Buenos Aires and its cheeky and mischievous side.

The turnout was great, and we were really pleased to see all 50 chairs filled, a rare treat for a Saturday afternoon. In fact, there were many more left standing with some spilling over to the Esplanade Cafe, enjoying their afternoon coffee and cakes while watching our performance.

And of course, having our previous clients spend their Saturday afternoon watching our performance was perhaps the most rewarding of all.

We were especially touched to see Patrick again (we had performed for his birthday party in June last year) who later sent us a congratulatory sms:

"Linda and I were sitting well out of the way and enjoyed the concert as it reminded us so much of Buenos Aires, which we know so well"

For those who have missed the performance or wish to view our performance again, we will be posting clips of the performance on youtube as soon as we have sorted them out. So do check back here for more updates!

No, Max did not sing- he was sharing his thoughts on Tango.

Special thanks goes to Alf Chern for the wonderful photos, Mark Checkley for video-taping and editing the clips for us, and Mr Goh Peck Keong for coordinating the event. Many many thanks for your warm support!

Lastly, thank you so much to all who came down to watch our performance, we hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!

Fritz Quartet @ St Regis

2008-02-04T15:17:00.000+08:00

2 Feb 2008

Saturday night, we performed for the wedding of Mark and Soo Yeon at St Regis Ballroom. It was our first time at St Regis, and we were especially impressed by the sound system provided by St Regis.

Going through our repertoire for the night to match the evening's programme

At 8pm, the guests streamed in and filled the vast ballroom. As Mark had indicated he wanted light and lively music, we planned our repertoire accordingly. Soon, it was time for the first march-in (Canon in D) and the guests welcomed the newly wed couple with thunderous applause. We continued with favourites such as Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Bach's Air on G.

We took our set break when the couple left for their costume change. It was an eyeopening affair as the couple emerged the 2nd time with Korean traditional costumes!

We opened our 2nd set with Chinese favourites 夜来香 (Ye Lai Xiang) and 月亮代表我的心 (Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin) while the couple left for their 3rd costume change. We performed Fly Me To the Moon, a jazz favourite for their march-in.

Thanks to staff of St Regis for the helpful technical assistance and our congratulations to Mark and Soo Yoen! :)

New Year Greetings from Fritz Quartet

2008-01-01T15:35:00.000+08:00

Our first post for 2008!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

To sum up 2007... we have made many new friends while performing for events and collaborations--friends that we treasure and hope to keep for life. We have also learnt alot about ourselves, as well as from one another, while working on our individual and quartet projects. We are still learning each day. Music making is a continuous process, how true.

Right now, we are working on new repertoire and we hope to debut some fresh, new pieces in the coming year. We are also looking forward to sharing our music with friends and new audiences. Possibly a few public performances in 2008?

In the meantime, here's wishing all a great year ahead!

Check back for more updates!

We experienced some technical difficulties during the soundcheck, which caused some feed-back from the mics.

4pm: We had time for a short run through of some of the pieces with the band.

Everything went smoothly and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. It was a refreshing change for us playing something non classical! :) We are also glad that we had the chance to play local composer Tan Chan Boon's work.

Kudos to members of Nightsound: Req, K, Euge, Alan, XR as well as guest players Edmund (saxophone) and Luke (percussions). It was a blast working with you guys!

Fritz Quartet @ Singapore Art Museum

2007-12-20T23:03:00.000+08:00

18 Dec 2007

After many days of torrential rain, the skies cleared up for the special day of Haresh and Margaret. It was cool yet not too windy when Margaret walked down the aisle with the flowergirls to the tune of Canon in D.

Post ceremony, we played Bach's Air on G, as yellow balloons carrying the well wishes of guests, were released into the air. It was such a poignant moment for us watching the balloons rise up into the skies.

The buffet dinner was held in the Glass Hall, a really cosy room. As we were playing, several guests came up to us to thank us for our music. It was especially heartwarming when Margaret and Haresh came to us at the end of the night with huge beams on their faces! :)

Fritz Quartet @ Raffles Hotel (SPH Event)

2007-12-12T13:46:00.000+08:00

11 December

Bingling took the helm of First Violinist today as our beloved Tze Chuan had the good fortune to go on holiday. Everything went smoothly as planned and we garnered much applause from the distinguished guests such as Singapore Press Holdings' Chairman, Dr Tony Tan, CEO, Mr Alan Chan, Media Development Authority's Assistant CEO, Mr Seto Lok Yin, and several top management personnel of renowned international publishing houses.

It was a private dinner setting with 6 tables in Raffles Hotel’s East India Room. As the guests enjoyed their sumptuous dinner, the Fritz Quartet played familiar tunes such as the Theme from New York New York and Kanon in D. To add on to the Christmas cheer, Bingling had also selected Danny Boy and Greensleeves to be played during the event.

Many thanks to our guest players Hongyap and Yaw Chang for agreeing to play with us at such short notice but delivering professional standards of performance nonetheless. Thanks to Pearly Mak too for facilitating the event. The Fritz Quartet looks forward to working with you again.

Lastly, thank you to the audience for lending us your ears.

Fritz Quartet @ Au Jardin Les Amis

2007-12-07T23:43:00.000+08:00

7 Dec 2007
Today the Fritz Quartet performed for an Atradius Event, held at Au Jardin Les Amis, Botanical Gardens. It was the first time we have played at Au Jardin, and it was indeed an interesting experience. We especially loved the acoustics of the place, and we had great technical support from the av crew, who miced us up.

The exterior of the restaurant.

It was especially tiring today because we played 2 sets consecutively. It certainly didn't help that it was raining the whole of today! Nevertheless, it was especially sweet when guests at the event smiled at us and said "Great job" after our pieces.

Thanks to Hong Yap for guest playing with us. A big thank you as well to Christabelle and Prisca from SPRG for coordinating the event.

Fritz Quartet @ ACS Oldham Hall

2007-12-06T23:53:00.000+08:00

6 Dec 2007 The Fritz Quartet was invited to perform for the wedding anniversary dinner of Mr & Mrs Choe Peng Sum (COO, Frasers Hospitality) at the Acs Oldham Hall.

The hall was transformed beautifully, with colorful chairs and table cloths.

Our stage set up. We had to make do with 2 mics instead of 4.

Tze Chuan and Johnny during the set break. Mr Choe had graciously reserved a table for us to have our dinner. Yummy! We especially loved the peking duck.. the eggtarts...the popiah... etc.

Tze Chuan and Max. The resident photographer takes a break to pose for the camera....

Compliments from a beaming Mr Choe: "I'm really glad I engaged you to perform tonight, thank you so much".. as well as a few guests who waved goodbye to us and said 'THANK YOU' when they left while we were still performing our last few songs, rounded up our evening's musical experience at ACS Oldham Hall.

Our thanks to Zhengyang for being there, as well as Mr Chong for coordinating the event and ensuring we were fed. :)

Fritz Quartet at Grand Hyatt Hotel (Ballroom 2)

2007-11-20T12:13:00.000+08:00

11 November

Today, the Fritz Quartet performed for the wedding of Jessica and Lyonnel at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. We arrived slightly earlier to rehearse the march-in, as well as to finalise where we would be situated for the evening.

We started our first set at 5.30pm when the guests were arriving, followed by Barcarolle for the processional at 6pm. Trumpet Voluntary was the recessional piece.

While the couple was busy taking photographs, we shifted our stands and music to the area outside the ballroom, where there would be a cocktail reception before dinner. Jessica had specially requested in our previous correspondences, for us to play Boccherini's Minuet, whihc we also included in our set list. After the piece, Jessica came over to us and said "you guys sound 20 times better than the recording!". Awwwww. :)

Compliments from Jessica:
Thanks for the lovely music. If I could do this all over again, I am very certain that I will still want the Fritz Quartet to perform for my wedding. haha... It was simply magical marching in to the tune of Barcarolle (LIVE no less!!!). Love the recessional piece too. Only regret is that I am unable to freeze those moments. (...) I had to go back to the suite to wait for the dinner to start. BUT I got to listen to Boccherini's Minuet!! haha which I think I requested for you guys to play. I enjoyed it totally!! LAPPED IT UP. (...) Overall, I love the stuff which you guys did. VERY happy that I got u guys. Really. I would definitely recommend you guys to anyone who wants GOOD live music for their wedding.

Thanks Jessica and Lyonnel, for inviting us to be part of your special occasion. And thanks as well for specially giving us a whole box of cakes and puffs as well as drinks for refreshments! :)

Members of the Wedding Party!

Received a pleasant surprise in the email today from Matthew, who had forwarded us pictures of us playing at his wedding .

Photo Credit: Derrick Ong (www.derrick-ong.com)

Matthew also wrote a note:
"We both very much enjoyed your music, and admired the quite (sic) professionalism with which you set up and left, and your timing in beginning your first piece at the perfect moment. Overall, I wouldn't fault you on a thing, and your presence did a lot to help create the wonderful atmosphere on our special day. In fact, booking you was one of the better decisions I made, even if it was at the last minute. As I think I said before, I wouldn't hesitate to employ you again in the unlikely event I'm planning such an occasion, or to recommend you to others. We do have friends with weddings coming up, and I'll certainly point them in your direction if they're looking for musicians."

Friends have always asked me why I do what I do. I guess for me, it is the knowledge that in the midst of enjoying the camaraderie of making music together, we have the ability to make a special occasion even more special.. that collectively, we have created tendrils of music which twine around the hearts of the audience, clinging on as time passes, to remind people of the beauty of music....

That is what keeps me going.
