For those that were not able to attend the 37th Asian Composers League Festival, where 6 works by CSS composers were premiered in February, Dr. Andri\u00e1n Pertout has written a thorough review of the works performed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe closing concert of the ACL festival on Friday 7 February 2025 at the beautiful MUZA Kawasaki Symphony Hall opened with the world premiere of Chung Shih Hoh\u2019s (Singapore) Distancing Echo for orchestra (2021), which in the composer\u2019s own words attempts to express the \u201csocial conditions of separation and distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d It proved to be a highly rich harmonic work, rooted in a modernist musical language, with a beautiful expansive energy that connects thematically with the composer\u2019s intention of continuously forming melodies \u201cfragmented in time, register and colour.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
