Sounding Now is a festival of contemporary music that brings together divergent contemporary practices with the goal of connecting people from different artistic communities in order to explore the ways their shared interests intersect. Presented by the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, the festival brings together contemporary music of different approaches – concert music, installation, electronics, and improvisation. This year’s festival will have a particular focus on contemporary percussion music. Special guests are Steven Schick, percussion, and the Swiss-based piano quartet Mondrian Ensemble. Singapore-based contemporary music ensembles OpusNovus and Wu Xian will perform as well several of the top experimental music improvisers from Singapore. Additionally, percussion students from Yong Siew Toh; UiTM, Shah Alam; and Western Australian Academy of the Performing Arts (WAAPA) will perform along with their teachers Mario Choo, Max Riefer, and Tim White. The festival takes place from 15-19 April 2020 and is presented by Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music.
