Steven Baxter Recital Studio

Composers from both sides of the divide between Singapore and Malaysia explore commonalities and diversities in creative ideas and styles, going past physical, social and historical boundaries at this forum and concert. UK-based Malaysian pianist Mei Yi Foo will bring the two cultures together in a unique contemporary piano recital. The programme will feature works by YST faculty Chen Zhangyi, Chow Jun Yan, Adeline Wong together with composers from Composers Society of Singapore - Chung Shih Hoh, Joyce Koh, Americ Goh as well as Chie Tsang Lee and Samuel Cho from Malaysia. At the preceding forum, Mei Yi Foo and the composers will illuminate on their work and artistic approach, and offer insight into how the creative process can transcend all barriers tangible and intangible. This meeting of minds hopes to bring greater understanding into how art transcends the limitations life brings.

This lecture explains and demonstrates the composer’s stylistic fingerprints, and includes demonstration performances of a carefully chosen selection of sonatas, including rarities.
