SUMMARY:[CANCELLED] Forum Series: Navigating Musical and Cultural Confluences - In Search of Singaporean Sounds
DESCRIPTION:In view of current health and travel advisories\, this event has been cancelled. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. \nFor more information on the status of YST events\, please visit: bit.ly/yst-updates \nCHEN ZHANGYI\, LI CHUREN\, presenters  \nABOUT THE EVENT Leading postcolonial theorist\, Homi Bhabha\, argued that the colonialised adopt the cultural practices of the colonial master in the process of gaining power for themselves\, a process he terms “mimicry” (Bhabha 1984). As Singapore’s arts scene matures\, musicians are moving away from older models of emulating the West\, and increasingly engaged with developing an individual voice. Born and (not completely) bred in Singapore\, Churen Li and Chen Zhangyi have pondered over the role that their Singaporean-ness plays in their approach to the art form that they are trained in\, which\, historically\, operates under a Western paradigm. Drawing on their embodied knowledge as insiders to this musical and cultural phenomenon\, viewed through Yayoi Uno Everett’s taxonomy of musical transference/synthesis/syncretism\, they explore some of the issues relating to identity\, diaspora and syncretism through a lecture-recital centred on Singaporean piano music\, while also showcasing examples from Chen’s composition oeuvre.  \nTICKETING INFORMATION • Free admission. • All event information is correct at time of print. • Out of respect for other concertgoers\, no children under 6 years of age will be allowed admission.
