*The two performances are on seperate evenings. Please make sure you book a ticket to the evening you wish to attend.
THURS
When I am laid in rock n' roll
A rock opera by Rebecca Mathews
This one act rock opera fuses the dramaticism, vocal technique and reflection of the operatic aria with the instrumentation and experimentalism of different rock eras spanning from Bill Haley & The Comets to Meatloaf. I have created a love letter to music and the way it has sculpted my life. Please join Dave Carr (lead guitarist), Dominic Yeap-Holliday (bassist), Sheren Sujanto (drummer), Stephen Siu (keyboardist) and myself for a celebration of music and its ongoing importance in our everchanging lives.
FRI
The Romantic Butterfly
by Keyan (Carol) Bao
The butterfly has been a symbol of rebirth, hope, and beauty in many cultures. In this recital, the butterfly will be flying through the nineteenth century, from the romantic period of the arts in Europe to the ancient and ongoing traditions in China, to demonstrate the beauty of the butterfly.
Two classic works will form a strong contrast of responses to the butterfly motif. Papillons (“Butterflies”)Op.2 is a suite of twelve short piano pieces written by Robert Schumann, often characterizing the composer’s friends and colleagues. The Butterfly Lovers is based on a famous folk story from China, re-arranged and imagined by Keyan (Carol) Bao (piano) and performed with Zina Fan (pipa).
This event is presented by the School of Arts, Design and Architecture with assistance from the Esme Timbery Creative Practice Lab.
