Brian Ferneyhough’s Bone Alphabet was written at the request of Steven Schick who will perform it on this concert. It is an extremely demanding work only for virtuosos. Additionally\, there will be the premiere of Irama Mabuk by YST Head of Composition Peter Edwards and Fritz Hauser’s conceptual work for percussion ensemble performed by student percussionists visiting from the conservatory’s partner institutions. \nABOUT SOUNDING NOW FESTIVAL  \nUpdate: Cancellation of Festival 2020In view of current health and travel advisories relating to the ongoing COVID-19\, YST is implementing safety precautions consistent with NUS policy.
