SINGAPORE - Over 7,000 people gathered at the Botanic Gardens on Saturday to revel in a performance of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony, a tribute to nature that evoked images of rippling creeks, flitting birds and the rumbling of an impending thunderstorm.
Shalini Schermutzhi, 44, who took the opportunity to arrange for a picnic with her daughter, said she was both a fan of Beethoven and the outdoor concerts hosted in the Botanic Gardens, having last attended the Singapore Symphony Orchestra's Mothers' Day Concert which was also held at the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage. Ms Schermutzhi is a librarian at the German European School Singapore, and has been residing on the island for the past three years.
Beethoven im Garten is an initiative of the German Embassy in partnership with the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music and the Nuremberg Symphony. It has been organised to celebrate German-Singaporean ties.
