Just over a month ago, the Singapore National Youth Orchestra featured the Visual Listening Guide to Mozart Symphony No. 41 (“Jupiter”) in their program books to their March 17 concert.
This was the formal debut of the Visual Listening Guide in Asia!
In addition to featuring the Guide, the Orchestra commissioned a “What to Listen For” page—an educational accompaniment providing deeper insights into the piece by highlighting key moments in the Guide.
An excerpt of this page was featured in their Facebook post to promote the concert:
Feedback to the Guide was very positive. One orchestra member remarked that their grandparent, who is not literate in English, was still able to follow the Guide because of its visual design. Even though the Visual Listening Guides can be translated, it was nice to know that language doesn’t pose a barrier to its functionality!
Thank you for the opportunity, Singapore National Youth Orchestra!
Now available at Symphony Graphique!
I originally created the “Jupiter” Symphony Visual Listening Guide in January 2016 for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and had long wanted to update it before releasing it on Symphony Graphique. Thanks to this opportunity, the time has come. This Guide is now available for purchase in the web shop as well as for print and digital licensing.
