This is the first in a new concert series "Give me my song" that goes in search for what is personal to a composer’s heart – his or her "song" – or at least his or her cosmopolitan mind and soul, while also celebrating the friendship and collaboration between these 3 composers.
We hope to re-create the atmosphere of a 21st-century music salon, with pianists Warren Lee and Yoonie Han, singer-pianist Sylvia Chan, as well as cellist Eric Yip and man-of-letters-cum-storyteller Daniel Chua, and including 2 Asian first performances too.
