KPOP Gone Orchestral

15
Written by On October 22, 2010

Say what?!

Yes, you read that right. You know KPOP is legit when 50 piece orchestras perform to packed auditoriums. Looks like the Hallyu wave is in full force.

Not sure which orchestra ensemble is playing this lively rendition of SNSD’s ever-popular “Gee”, but it sounded like the audience in the auditorium sure liked it enough to sing along:

And then there’s this from the Nanyang Polytechnic Chinese Orchestra:

Under the baton of Mr. Mike Chiang, NYPCO has grown to become a young and upcoming orchestra with 120 members and alumni. The orchestra experiments with a myriad of repertoire from contemporary pop songs, western classical to traditional Chinese music.

And now the most awesome classical KPOP medley ever:

These videos just made my (Fri)day. Happy Friday everyone!!! And who knows-maybe someday soon we’ll see (and hear!) a symphonic ode to KPOP! ^_^

PS. Did you catch all the songs in that incredible medley of KPOP music?? If not, here is the full list:

  1. SHINee – Lucifer
  2. SHINee – Ring Ding Dong
  3. Super Junior – Bonamana
  4. U-Kiss – Man Man Ha Ni
  5. T-ara – I Go Crazy Because Of You
  6. BEAST – Shock
  7. Big Bang – Haru Haru
  8. FT Island – I Hope
  9. Wonder Girls – 2 Different Tears
  10. BEAST – Mystery
  11. 4Minute – HUH
  12. T-ara – Bo Peep Bo Peep
  13. KISS – Because I’m A Girl
  14. 2AM – I Will Never Let You Go Even If I Die
  15. DBSK – I Believe
  16. SNSD – Gee

(SNSDforever12, NYPChineseOrchestra, justshocking)

    I don’t know if it was just me, but I think I heard a 2ne1 song around 1:20 or something. Right before Haru Haru. It sounded like “Please Don’t Go”…nah I could be wrong. But this is so awesome!
