ABOUT THIS EVENT

Introducing the Final Chapter to ‘The Art of War by Calista Liaw’—a highly-acclaimed multidisciplinary production that has enthralled full-house audiences at the Esplanade in its first two editions. This extraordinary series continues its exploration of curated philosophies from Sun Tzu’s renowned classic, 孙子兵法, offering a utopian fusion of contemporary Chinese chamber music, movement art, and haute couture—a visual spectacle unlike anything seen before in Singapore.

In its third edition, the program revisits the World Premiere of four commissioned Chinese chamber works titled ‘计Laying Plans’, ‘战Waging War’, ‘省Introspection’, and ‘翌March On’. Each movement is a tribute to selected quotes from Sun Tzu’s genius, and a metaphoric narrative of Calista’s relationship with Art and Life, performed by an outstanding team of established artists of diverse disciplines. An emblem of her deep-rooted passion for Chinese arts and culture, ‘The Art of War’ series serves as her inaugural masterpiece to tell her story.

Repertoire: 计 Laying Plans by CHUA Zi Tao, 战 Waging War by Estene CHEONG, 省 Introspection by LIN Ssu Ting, 翌March On by TOH Yan Ee

Performed by: Calista Liaw (Erhu), Zhu Ze Yu (Cello), Zhang Yin (Pipa), Zhang Shuo (Guan), Lee Yuru (Percussion), Wong De Li (Conductor)
