TWO home-grown orchestras will soon pay tribute to a pair of class acts.

The Braddell Heights Symphony Orchestra (BHSO) will honour pioneering Singapore composer Leong Yoon Pin with a performance of his lost classic next month; the Philharmonic Winds' show on Monday will be a chamber concert that incorporates a reading of Roald Dahl poems.

BHSO's performance, fittingly titled Tribute, will feature works by Sibelius, Grieg and Richard Strauss, but the highlight will be Leong's Symphony No 2, which hasn't been played in its entirety since 1979.
