Esplanade Singapore Acoustics: Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale
This video captures Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale performing at Esplanade Singapore in July 2018. Presented as part of Herwin Gunawan’s acoustic listening experiences, the recording connects live choral music with his interest in architectural acoustics and the way people experience sound in performance spaces.
The performance invites reflection on the interaction between voices and their acoustic surroundings. Vocal blend, the clarity of musical phrases, and the sense of space around a choir offer useful listening perspectives when considering choral music in an architectural setting.
For architects, acoustic consultants, musicians, and anyone interested in performance spaces, this entry provides a reference for attentive listening and further discussion. It documents a concert experience, with the recording offering a limited impression of the sound heard in person.
Part of the Herwin Gunawan Work field observation video library, this video reflects his continuing exploration of music, architecture, and human sensory experience.
