SYNOPSIS
Featuring narration, visual projection and traditional Chinese woodwind instruments including dizi, guanzi, sheng, and suona, the ensemble recounts the popular Asian folklore, The Sisters Island.
Through this performance, students will be introduced to the unique and wonderful sounds of Chinese instruments, and they will be taught simple performing techniques on the ladi (拉笛), a Chinese slide flute. The facilitator is Mr. Quek Ling Kiong, 2002 Singapore Young Artist Award recipient, and a young and renowned homegrown percussionist, conductor and Chinese music educator.
A perfect way to begin a musical journey with Chinese traditional instruments!
About Arts Sphere Chamber Ensemble
Arts Sphere was established in mid 2007, with an aim to strongly establish the genre of Chinese chamber ensemble. In 2008, the ensemble drew national attention by clinching first prize in the National Chinese Music Competition organized by the Singapore National Arts Council.

A virtuosic ensemble, Arts Sphere champions both traditional and contemporary works. Besides excelling in the Chinese classical repertoire, Arts Sphere is also a music laboratory for avant-garde and cross-disciplinary works.
