Singapore Arts Festival 2011: A Throw of Dice May 20, 2011

In the Asian premiere of A Throw of Dice renowned composer and musician Nitin Sawhney conducts his own band members and the Singapore Festival Orchestra in a performance of his highly acclaimed soundtrack to the beautiful silent film classic Prapandcha Pash (A Throw of Dice). This marks Sawhney’s return to the Singapore Arts Festival, after a well-received turn in 2010. This new work follows a tour that has been to London, Toronto, Holland, Italy, New Zealand, Chicago, Doha and Sydney.

With aid from the Singapore Festival Orchestra and his versatile band, Sawhney’s Western score artfully dovetails with the film’s fluid drama. As engrossing as the film is, the music is never relegated to the background. Audiences here will relish the special and unique combination of watching a film accompanied by a soundtrack played ‘live’!
