Event Details

Come tantalise your senses with Merism Duo (Michellina Chan and Mary Osborn) in Singapore. It is a program that encourages participation from YOU, the audience!

They will take you and your senses on a voyage between Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. The music is drawn together by an underlying theme of flight, linked further by the representation of birds and the composers' personal reflection of their respective regions.

Kezia Yap's "as it calls in the dawn light" explores Australian landscapes and culture, and the strong sense of wanderlust many Australians carry. Jay Ong's "Transit Sketches III" is the third in a series of works evoking Singaporean culture. Daniel Yiau's "2 Sax Scenes" is a 2 movement work; the first is set in a meditative state, a different kind of 'flight'; the second is more rhythmical quoting a popular Australian ballad - see if you can recognize it! Michael Jamieson's "Nga Manu" depicts four typical native New Zealand birds and their habitats. Kea - a large, curious and sometimes destructive parrot found in the mountain ranges; Tui – the songbird whose beautiful virtuosic melodies are interrupted with deep, guttural groans; Ruru - the tiny owl who inhabits the nocturnal landscape; and the cheeky, acrobatic Piwakawaka.

Bring your best ears, eyes, hands, nose and tongue!
