Kaleidoscope: A Cheah Chan Duo Retrospective
The Cheah Chan Duo is very excited to be making its Asian début in Singapore at the historic Victoria Theatre with a program entitled "Kaleidoscope: A Cheah Chan Duo Retrospective". The recital will take place on Sunday, July 9, at 3:00pm at the Dance Studio at Victoria Theatre. Admission is free.
"Kaleidoscope" will feature highlights from the past eight seasons with favorite and popular works by H. Leslie Adams, Amy Beach, Chester Biscardi, Johannes Brahms, Claude Debussy, Reynaldo Hahn, Frank J. Oteri, Francis Poulenc, Rosephenye Powell, Ned Rorem, and more.
Lauded by Time Out New York for their "restlessly inquisitive" performances, the Duo has been presenting exciting curated themed programs using art songs and piano works to bring greater cultural and social awareness to their audience. Recent performances have included a featured-artist lecture-recital for Singapore Unbound's Second Saturdays Reading Series in New York City, a 90th birthday tribute concert to Ned Rorem, an evening devoted to the music of Frank J. Oteri (featuring the world première of the ASCAP Foundation Charles Kingsford Fund commissioned song cycle "Versions of the Truth", composed expressly for them), the commemoration of the centennial of the First World War, a literary themed concert for National Poetry Month, two celebrations of Pride Week with LGBT composers and poets, as well as four nation-themed programs: an evening of French mélodies and short instrumental pieces for Bastille Day; a Time Out New York-featured program of British art songs; an American evening; and a German/Austrian liederabend. A strong advocate for new and rarely performed music, the Duo has also performed works by Jennifer Higdon, Chris Cresswell, Jonathan David, Laura Kaminsky, Martha Sullivan, Dennis Tobenski, Drew Hemenger, Gilda Lyons, and Steve Holtje, several of which were world premières.
