Deck TEH Halls
17 December, 12.30pm
Esplanade Concert Hall
$10 (receive a $10 Esplanade Mall voucher with every ticket purchased)
Join TEH (short for trombone, euphonium and horn), the first brass trio of its kind, for a wide variety of music including classical, contemporary and pop with a touch of laughter. Staying true to its local roots, TEH translates into “tea”, reflecting the Singaporean affinity for tea breaks in a day’s work.
Sometimes, the trio likes its TEH with additional ingredients, so it collaborates with fellow tea lovers for that extra touch of fragrance. At this concert, TEH will be performing with classy, fun-loving piano accompanist Aya Sakou and tuba enhancement Tan Yao Cong.
