Dylan Lim, conductor

"To me, Singapore is not only a location, but also an event. Ever since her founding 200 years ago, she has been a huge collective of diverse people coming together, much like a Festival. She is also ever shifting, evolving and tweaking, creating a unique identity for herself.

Like Singapore herself, Festival on Earth seeks to give wind bands an opportunity to create identities for themselves through decision making. In a somewhat modular fashion, bands can choose between various instrumental and structural choices in the piece.

The Festival opens with a loud pop, and a celebratory procession begins. As one starts exploring the festival grounds, we come first to a puppet show. We return to the celebratory atmosphere and follow it until arriving at a romantic play. The next stop is a cluster of booths, and depending on the order you choose to see, we have a tribal dance, a carousel and a game booth. As the festive day draws to a close, one can either leave with quiet satisfaction, or end the day with a bang!

Festival on Earth was commissioned by the Ministry of Education for the Singapore Youth Festival 2019 Arts Presentation for Band." - Lee Jinjun
