ABOUT THIS EVENT
Maduro & YST Conservatory present
GENFREE
/ˈdʒænˌˈfri/ n. Event
Etymology: Music from the middle ground
1. A wordplay on the intersection of genre and free
2. A midweek evening of music presented by students, faculty and alumni of Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music streamed live from Maduro that adopts classical music as a springboard into a lexicon of musical genres comprising jazz, folk, improvisation and the ilk, insofar as to crossover into the realm of mixology.
If love is what makes the world go round, then funk is the thump that makes your booties bump. Doesn’t matter if it’s classical, jazz, motown or funk – every genre has that undeniable rhythm that’s made of the stuff that makes your socks go up and down. Join Lorong Boys’ hunks of funk Rit Xu as he fires up the flute and Joachim Lim punch up the backbeat as our next edition of GENFREE takes you back to that first funk song that really did you in – the one that got your feet tapping, the noose off your neck, and when it finally feels like the beat’s got your back. The one that never fails to get your funk on, or GTFO, pardon our French.
Don’t get too comfortable, empty out a dance floor and have a big swig of liquid courage at arm’s length. Because even though it’s a Wednesday, GENFREE 003 will have you howling TGIF! That’s Thank God It’s Funk, but you already know that.
30 September, 9.00pm GMT+8, funky time.
GENFREE is supported by National Arts Council’s Digital Presentation Grant and part of their
#SGCultureAnywhere movement.
