For many of us, music is an integral part of everyday life. From representing self-identity to cheering us up on bad days, the music we listen to must carry a purpose if we keep returning to it in different situations.

The appreciation of music from both the performer’s and the listener’s standpoint is dependent upon understanding its societal and historical context. Where is such knowledge to be found today? Do online resources help or hinder our quest for knowledge and understanding? Does the vast profusion of materials and information available online equate to increased knowledge and understanding? Does it offer an easy pathway to clarity of understanding, or does it merely cloud issues with fake news? Is it wise, or indeed safe, to rely upon the open forum of online resources in our academic quest for knowledge and understanding, or do the traditional print media still hold the essential keys? |

Born in Belgium, pianist and conductor Kevin Class studied at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, as well as in the U.S and Canada. As a pianist, teachers have included Romeo Fracalanza, Ralph Votapek, Gyorgy Sebok and Daniel Blumenthal. In 1997, the Belgian government named Kevin a Fellow of the Flemish Community in recognition both of his performances of the complete Piano Sonatas of Mozart and Schubert, and for his contributions to the performance and promotion of contemporary music, with Jan-Marisse Huizing describing him as “an important ambassador for today’s composers”. |

Building out from their work on Bach's Goldberg Variations in Mathemusical Conversations 2015, duo researching artists Stephen Emmerson and Bernard Lanskey continue to explore the simplest prime numbers as a tool for encouraging active audience listening. In this forum, they explore how the juxtaposition of the numbers 3 and 2 applies to multiple parameters of musical organisation. In doing so, they draw listeners away from focusing on 'repertoire' and towards a multi-dimensional appreciation of 'compositional material'. Using three keyboards and visual projections, this audio-visual collage provides performative insights into the music of nine iconic composers from Bach to Bartok. |

Narratives – whether historical, political, or musical; whether fact or fiction – are inextricably bound to the ways we experience the world, and the art that translates these experiences. 
The Wednesday Noon Recitals offer short performance from the full range of Conservatory activity, an ideal introduction to the world of classical music. In this edition, Trio Khaldei performs the contemporary works for piano trio, interspersed with works by YST composition majors. 
Narratives – whether historical, political, or musical; whether fact or fiction – are inextricably bound to the ways we experience the world, and the art that translates these experiences. 
Metamorphoses, Book I is the first installment in a new major piano cycle by composer George Crumb, his first since the four Makrokosmos piano volumes were created in the 1970s. Metamorphoses, Book I is inspired by ten paintings and is Crumb’s tribute to Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. A comprehensive summation of the Crumb pianistic vocabulary, Metamorphoses also makes vocal and theatrical demands on the pianist, as did the earlier Makrokosmos pieces. A novel feature of this new work is Crumb’s use of the toy piano and several small percussion instruments in combination with the grand piano, a nod to Margaret Leng Tan’s career as a toy pianist and toy instrumentalist. This concert is taking place on the eve of George Crumb’s 90th birthday (October 24), and will feature video projections created by Monica Duncan. |

Karin Schaupp has had an international career as a concert guitarist and she has also trained extensively as an actor and used her skills to create multiple cross-platform projects. Through this process she discovered the immense expressive potential of applying acting techniques to musical performance. In this lecture-recital Karin will share an overview of her projects and the artistic research intrinsic to her process. Karin will also discuss how she applies acting techniques in her teaching at tertiary level and why she feels these techniques have the potential to fill a notable gap in the training of instrumentalists. 
Henri Dutilleux has described Malaysian composer Tazul Tajuddin’s work as ‘an original temperament, which encompasses both rigour and new ways of thinking’. Having studied with and encountered composers and personalities such as Toshio Hosokawa, Leonardo Balada, Xavier Montsalvatge, Juan Pablo Izquierdo, Franco Donatoni, Jonathan Harvey, Michael Finnissy, Brian Ferneyhough, Iannis Xenakis, Pierre Boulez and others, Tazul Tajuddin is recognized for his artistic excellence and work in Malaysian music education. Tazul is Associate Professor and Dean at the Faculty of Music, Universiti Teknologi MARA in Shah Alam, Malaysia. 
In Beethoven's catalogue, the number “61” refers to a concerto for violin and orchestra AND to a concerto for piano and orchestra. The first version of the violin concerto was composed in November-December 1806, the piano version in June 1807, and the violin version - as it has been printed - only in 1809. They all have differences and passages not completely clear if written down by Beethoven himself. Moreover, the character of the concerto seems to be upset by the original Cadenza Beethoven wrote for the piano version. Thus, this is a musical entity that poses a number of interesting questions: what is a musical work? How are musical works transmitted over time? What is the function of performance? Is it the reproduction (of what?)? Is it the reenactment (of what?)? Or is it a mode of problematising what we think to know? 
“Beethoven’s Travels” - Igudesman tells the story of Beethoven’s strong belief in artistic and personal freedom, taking you on a musical kaleidoscopic journey that goes around the globe, embracing a myriad of cultures. 
“After Moonlight” - Hyung-ki Joo explores the turbulence inside Beethoven, who was not only struggling with his deafness, but also tortured by many health issues. Joo’s “After Moonlight” is like a musical X-ray, or even more accurate, a musical magnetic resonance image of the famous first movement of the “Moonlight Sonata”, seemingly calm and evocative, but behind the skin, full of sound and fury.
An exploration and expansion of Debussy’s spectral legacy, join Trio Khaldei as they deliver the unique sonorities of the piano trio, culminating in Hosokawa’s Singing Garden, sharing the stage with members of OpusNovus, YST’s contemporary music ensemble.

Violist Hsin-Yun Huang has forged a career by performing on international concert stages, commissioning and recording new works, and nurturing young musicians. Here, she presents a programme for solo viola which encapsulates the essence of the instrument. 
In our current practice, performing musicians are not often required to improvise. However, unlike the interpretation and performance of a composer’s idea, while improvising, one is telling his or her own story and communicates this to the audience. Think of it as real-time storytelling as opposed to reading from a book. Improvising together with others offers additional dimensions: the story becomes a conversation where communication between players is paramount. Considering the audience as additional participants creates an even more intriguing network: as active listeners they become part of the conversation, witnesses to the spontaneous interaction of the performers. This presentation will focus on a particularly modern challenge - where performers are connected over great distances via modern technologies. An audience is present on both sides. The philosophical question of ‘what is the present’ becomes apparent: our present is different from theirs. How do we manage the time delays and find creative ways of engaging everyone in the stories? 
This presentation examines the analysis and performance of Mozart’s chamber music from the perspective of social interplay. A long tradition of comparing chamber music (especially string quartets) to artful conversation reflects the intricate sense of interaction among the instrumental parts. Klorman imagines chamber compositions as a game in which each instrumental part may be understood as an individual player or character, capable of competing with, seducing, deceiving, or outwitting the others as the music unfolds. 
We're all connected, you and I. Our stories bind us together, interwoven like the silky strands of a spider's web. A web of strange but familiar memories and experiences, where amongst them are of childhood, aspirations, friendship, love and spirit. In this concert, musicians themselves will speak of their stories, and through the power of music, awaken a soulful human connection that breaks barriers and disintegrates differences. |

Have you ever wondered how a composer might have been inspired to write in a particular style? In this carefully curated recital programme, Associate Professor of Piano Albert Tiu explores how Bach and John Field might have influenced Chopin's use of chromaticism and his florid cantilena writing, and in turn, how Chopin might have influenced generations of composers after him - Liszt, Grieg, Faure, Tchaikovsky, Skryabin and Godowsky. |
