Ever wonder how Ang Ku Kueh Girl, the spunky adventurer that we know today, found her confident voice? She used to speak in barely a whisper until one day, fearful of judgment, her voice faded away entirely!
Join Ang Ku Kueh Girl as she explores the enchanting world of Chinese music. Will the soulful erhu, the vibrant sheng or the deep double bass unlock her voice? Or perhaps, something else entirely awaits her. Don't miss this captivating concert about finding your own unique voice and the power of unity in a world that needs to hear you.

Explore the intricate tapestry of Chinese and Korean musical legacies through Ding Yi Music Company! Returning for its fourth edition, following its captivating 2019 instalment, the Musical Frontiers series challenges music boundaries, and bridges distinct genres of music, from different cultures, backgrounds, and styles. This time around, it presents a collaboration with ensemble PHASE from Korea, known for creating and performing new repertoires through experimentation on Korean instruments.
Under the baton of Guest Conductor Lien Boon Hua, both ensembles will present a myriad of exciting and contemporary works, including the world premiere of specially-commissioned ‘Song of Rainbow Skirts and Feather Robes’, composed for this concert by renowned Chinese composer Gao Weijie.
Ding Yi’s yangqin musician Tan Jie Qing will present a solo ‘Taiwan Blue Magpie’, whilst Minju Kim and Minseop Song will showcase Korean instruments, the geomungo and piri, in ‘Riding the Winds and Waves’ and ‘Silkroad – Dance For Qiuzi’ respectively.
Join us for this unique concert and be prepared to be immersed in a harmonious blend of Chinese and Korean musical heritage, as these virtuosic artists unite to break down barriers and rewrite the narrative of cross-cultural musical exploration.
