-Details: Chamber music derives from western classical music. Originally music by family members playing together for self-entertainment, chamber music has developed into fine music performances by small ensembles. Coincidentally, traditional Chinese music originated from small ensembles of instruments such as erhu, pipa, dizi, that allow the musicians to showcase their artistry. Currently, full orchestral music is the trend and that causes young musicians to drift further from the traditional origins. In this chamber series, hear the SYCO members perform newly-arranged Chinese chamber music, in performance formats borrowed from western chamber music but playing works infused with the quintessence of traditional Chinese music. Programme planner cum conductor, Quek Ling Kiong, make bold moves by bringing together Liu Tian Hua’s master piece, Song of Birds in a Desolate Mountains, liuqin ensemble’s version of Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto in G Major, and Guo Wen Jing’s contemporary and experimental work Drama all in one performance. Appreciate the sounds of Chinese music, vibrancy of youth and return of the traditional.
