ABOUT THIS EVENT
The Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music and the Elder Conservatorium of Music (Adelaide) reunite for the second instalment of their pioneering, cross-cultural collaborative endeavour. Celebrating the triumph of their maiden project last year, which saw students from both institutions performing synchronously in two cities for their respective audiences, the collaboration is set to evolve further.
This year, they are taking their unique musical camaraderie to new heights by forming an ensemble composed of students from both schools. The ensemble will perform a varied program showcasing the works of contemporary composers from both Singapore and Australia such as Liza Lim, Yuting Tan, Ross Edwards & Tony Makarome, in addition to a selected student composer from each conservatory. This provides a dynamic blend of pieces that mirror the rich cultural legacies of both nations.
The performances will take place in both cities and promises to be a remarkable journey through the diverse soundscapes of Singapore and Australia, highlighting the innovative synergies between these two esteemed institutions.
