CSS member Samuel Phua<\/strong> (saxophone) will be performing a series of works by Singaporean composers in London, UK, featuring pieces by Elliot Teo<\/strong>, Jonathan Shin<\/strong> and Koh Cheng Jin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cA Mixed Recital,\u201d is a showcase of three composers from Singapore, reflecting the diversity of musical voices of the island country. Jonathan Shin\u2019s Lunarabesque is an uncanny fusion of many styles: jazz, pop, funk, and classical music in equal measure\u2014and yet, remains absolutely \u2018shin-ian\u2019 in its inventiveness and joy for living. Koh Cheng Jin\u2019s background in Traditional Chinese music as a Yangqin player is captured in the tender songfulness of A Fleeting Perennity. Lastly, London-trained Elliot Teo\u2019s work, Mixed Recital, is a conceptual piece that explores the idea of monologue v.s. dialogue in chamber music, where both saxophone and piano play alone initially before coming together towards the end, their individual lines now superimposed over one another.<\/p>\n The concert ends with Modest Mussorgsky\u2019s celebrated Pictures at an Exhibition, in an arrangement for one saxophonist and piano. Showcasing the unique sound of each saxophone within the standard family in different sections of the piece \u2013 from the melancholic opening Promenade to the triumphant Great Gate of Kyiv \u2013 this arrangement of Pictures takes the listener on a journey through Mussorgsky\u2019s gallery like no other, and is not to be missed!<\/p>\nSYNOPSIS:<\/h4>\n
