“Ich träumte von bunten Blumen, So wie sie wohl blühen im Mai
Ich träumte von grünen Wiesen, Von lustigem Vogelgeschrei.”

“I dreamt of many-hued flowers, such as bloom in May.
I dreamt of green meadows and of the merry chirping of birds.”

After having completed the cycle of songs, Franz Schubert is supposed to have said to a group of friends,
“I will sing through a cycle of dreadful songs for you.”

“Die Winterreise” or “Winter Journey” is a setting of a poem by Wilhelm Müller, a story of a young man with the incurable wound in his heart who wandering through Winter, driven out by overwhelming emotional frustration into the hostile, frost-bound winter landscape.

Are you perhaps this man?
Let us wander through this Winter together until the spring comes.

ศิลปิน

John Tneoh

A native of Penang, Malaysia, John Tneoh was trained at Ouachita Baptist University in the United States, where he majored in Voice Performance with a minor in Piano. 

Tneoh’s musical journey began at four when he took piano lessons and eventually completed his Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) Grade 8 Examinations. Tneoh was also heavily involved in choral music during high school, which led to private lessons with German-trained mezzo-soprano Hooi Lay Khoo before pursuing his tertiary education. He was offered a piano and voice performance major during his university entrance exam, and he decided on the latter.

Throughout his collegiate years, Tneoh sang roles including Peter in Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel, Simoné in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi, Papageno in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, and Masetto in Don Giovanni, a role which he would reprise in the Fall of 2022. Professionally, he has also performed internationally as Count Almaviva (Le nozze di Figaro), Vicomte Cascada (Die Lüstige Witwe), Prince Yamadori & Il Commissario (Madama Butterfly), Masetto & Il Commendatore (Don Giovanni), Mayor (A Happy Prince), and most recently as Slook in Rossini’s La cambiale di matrimonio.

Tneoh is also no stranger to performing as a soloist in both orchestral and recital settings; his repertoire includes bass/baritone solos in Faure’s Requiem, Haydn’s Missa in Angustiis & Missa in tempore belli, Monteverdi’s Madrigalist guierrieri et amoroso, Bruckner’s Te Deum, Schumann’s song cycle Dichterliebe and more recently in Händel’s Messiah with the Siam Sinfonietta.  

Performing with Usa Napawan in Schubert’s Winterreise comes full circle as the duo’s first performance more than a decade ago was the fifth number of the song cycle, Der Lindenbaum.
