oriental cadence 2008

yup, it's another year and time for ky to perform at jubilee hall with his choir. trust him to perservere in attending weekly practices all these years despite his work.

this year, ts and i were there to lend him our support.

i feel that the performance this year is more engaging and accessible to non-arty farty types like me. the items seems to be more lively.

the japanese bamboo flute [shakuhachi] accompanying the japanese harp [koto] provided a more layered sound playing off each other, making it more interesting than having the koto alone.

ky is standing in front this year... maybe he thinks that the choir performance is better this time round hence no need to hide in the back row like last year's. :P

the hainan hwee kuan's harmonica orchestra included some japanese pieces in tune with the rest of the programming.

as usual, the japanese association's ladies choir gave the most polished performance. there were 3 members who even flew back just for today's concert. talk about having passion for the arts!

check out the pictures here and a snippet of ky's performance here.
