About the Artist
Alicia De Silva is a composer whose musical interest includes the music and sounds of various cultures, its cultural context and significance. This has resulted in some juxtaposition of sounds and performance aesthetics of other cultures in some of her compositions, often resulting in interesting experiences for both musicians and listeners alike.
Together with her role as an angklung instructor, Alicia frequently uses her artistic experiences to (re)create and (re)define the music-making processes and learning in her ensembles.
