Born and (not completely) bred in Singapore, Churen LI and Asst Prof CHEN Zhangyi have pondered over the role that their Singaporean-ness plays in their approach to the art form that they are trained in, which, historically, operates under a Western paradigm. With reference to Yayoi Uno EVERETT\u2019s taxonomy of musical transference\/synthesis\/syncretism, they explore possible resonances between Singaporean music and the dynamism of Singlish, while discussing some of the issues relating to identity, diaspora and syncretism through a lecture-recital centered on Singaporean piano music.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on their embodied knowledge as insiders to this musical and cultural phenomenon, YST faculty explore some of the issues relating to identity, diaspora and syncretism through a lecture-recital centered on Singaporean piano music.<\/p>\n<h4>Programme<\/h4>\n<p>Syafiqah \u2018Adha SALLEHIN \u2013 <em>Mahligai<\/em><\/p>\n<p>CHEN Zhangyi \u2013 <em>Clima<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Wang Chenwei (CSS Full Member) \u2013 <em>Mid-Autumn Festival<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Due to COVID-19 related guidelines, this performance will only be offered virtually.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TRpTyH13prQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH VIDEO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online Steven Baxter Recital StudioYong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music 27 Oct 2020 (Tu)5:30 PM Forum Series: In Search of Singaporean Sounds \u2013 Navigating Musical and Cultural Confluences Churen LI, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4455,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[106],"class_list":["post-4454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-106"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4454"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4454\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4459,"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4454\/revisions\/4459"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cssingapore.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
