Esplanade Recital Studio

"As a special addition, this recital will premiere two pieces - the world premiere of Singapore based composer Kangyi Zhang's piece Clima(c)tic Consensus, and the Singapore (Asian) premiere of Qart Hadasht by young Singapore composer Goi Ywei Chern. Though modern, both works hearken back to times past by the incorporation of folk melodies and old harmonies."

"Kangyi Zhang’s music has an open, natural sound – unlike the “hard edge” that we frequently associate with contemporary classical musical compositions. His unique voice integrates melodic ideas and traditional motivic development with a variety of modern ideas in composition and instrumental technique."
