ABOUT THE EVENT
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.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Winner of the BBC Best Newcomer of the Year award, Mei Yi Foo dazzled critics and audiences at the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2013 with her ‘liberating’ and ‘virtuoso display’ (The Times). Her recent debut at the Lucerne Festival was voted ‘Highlight of the Year’ by SRF and she continues to captivate audiences across Europe, the Americas and Asia. Since winning the Maria Callas Grand Prix’08 in Athens, Mei Yi has transformed from ‘a pianist to watch’ (BBC Radio 3) to a ‘rising star’ (International Piano Magazine), and according to a recent review on The Arts Desk, David Nice writes, ‘her genius is now unquestionable’.
