Contemporary choir at its best

By Ho Yi  /  STAFF REPORTER

The composer chosen to bring down the festival's final curtain is the 30-year-old Hungarian Roland Szentapli. As for what is to be expected for the Asia premiere of his Beatus Vir, ticket-buyers can look for something no less than a symphonic-scale choral presentation spiced up with a bit of jazz, pop and rap.
