Seung Jae Chung received his bachelor’s degree at the Seoul National University, and his master’s and doctoral degrees at the Manhattan School of Music.

In 1920, Russian scientist Lev Sergeevich Termen (Leon Theremin) invented the first electronic musical instrument, which was initially called the etherphone but later renamed the theremin after its inventor. No physical contact is involved with the instrument; the performer controls pitch and volume with the position of his/her hands in the air.

Revelations and Angels is an audio-visual performative installation by Phoon Yu and Theemptybluesky (Mervin Wong). It is the framing of the conventional recital into the form of an experience. The work seeks to explore the relationship between man and his creator in two segments: an installation, which inhabits the space to create sensory experiences both in the day and evening, and an evening performance (alongside the installation). The performance features compositions by Chen Zhangyi and J. S. Bach, with sonic reflections by Mervin.

In this multimedia presentation, Dr Salgado talks about the science behind his Science & Symphony films and the creative process involved in making them. This includes photographing natural phenomena around the world such as the lunar tides and the aurora borealis. Through excerpts from these films, we embark on an awe-inspiring virtual tour, travelling from the subarctic North to the South Pole and from Earth’s orbit to galaxies far away, while learning about these fantastic places. Dr Salgado further encourages audiences to think in multidisciplinary ways and to explore fields such as science, music, education, filmmaking and photography.

Karst de Jong, Visiting Professor at YST for Semester 1 of the 2019/20 academic year, will play a solo piano recital with improvisations inspired by various musical styles and influences. As the audience, you get to suggest themes or ideas as the basis for some of these improvisations! He will also share some reflections about improvisation – its tradition in classical music, jazz and other styles; its pedagogical applications in higher music education; and its meaning and place in the music we make today. Join us again in November for a special collaborative workshop with members of the YST community!
