Rallying like-minded percussionists with an adventurous and eclectic taste for percussive music\, Morse Percussion aims to inspire and cultivate interest through exquisite modern practices and compelling productions with the goal to be Singapore’s first professional percussion group characterized by musical diversity and excellence. An ardent supporter of commissioning Singaporean works\, Morse Percussion have worked with many local composers; In 2020\, Phang Kok Jun and Morse created five multi-disciplinary videos including percussion and dance; In 2021\, award-winning composer Cheng Jin Koh commissioned a piece that was influenced by the art paintings of Georgette Chen. That same year\, Morse Percussion also performed to a sold-out audience at the Esplanade Concert Hall for the Singapore Festival of Arts; In 2022\, Morse commissioned 5 local composers – Dr Tony Makarome\, Jon Lin Chua\, Jonathan Shin\, August Lum and Avik Chari – culminating in a concert of percussion works of contrasting styles and genres. In addition to commissions\, they have also appeared as Visiting Artists at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music\, performed for the Soundislands Re:Sound festival at the ArtScience Museum as well as various other venues within Esplanade. Most recently\, Morse Percussion opened the Singapore Chinese Music Festival 2023 in a lecture-recital concert\, where the group performed and explained intricately the various percussive music that incorporates Western and Chinese percussion. Founders Derek and Joachim also specially curated and performed a unique show for Hermès Horloger\, the watchmaking division of Hermès \nTICKETING INFORMATION \nTickets $10 via Eventbrite. \nOut of respect for other concertgoers\, no children under 6 years of age will be allowed admission. \n*All event information is correct at time of print. \nSubscribe to YST’s mailing list.
