Strings À La Carte

If you love classical music, or if you’re curious but haven’t quite taken the plunge, you’ll want to check out the debut performance of 12tone Ensemble’s string orchestra, Strings À La Carte. Featuring a creative "concert menu" concept, this performance highlights the rich variety of the string repertoire, which includes works from Dvorak, Kreisler, Elgar, Holst and Arlen. We speak to concertmaster Alyssa Chong, and conductor Caeleb Tee about what makes this show special, and why it’s one you won’t want to miss.
