Collaborations with Ding Yi Music Company

What a nice way to start the new year, Happy New Year 2021!

A digital series weaving four different visual art forms with Chinese chamber music. Join Ding Yi Music Company as the orchestra unfold the stories of today from a different but positive perspective.

Stay tuned to the "Ding Yi +" series every Thursday from 31 Dec 2020 till 21 Jan 2021. I am honoured to appear in the first video of the series. Enjoy!

Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations

A very quick sketch as it was our turn to perform on stage for the mid-autumn festival celebrations on behalf of Braddell Heights Community Club. We moved there when Hwa Chong Alumni Building at Bukit Timah Road was demolished in July this year. I am a pipa player in the Chinese Orchestra formed by old schoolmates of more than 40 years when we studied at National Junior College, the only JC in the early 70s. When we formed the orchestra in 2008 or 2009, we were invited by Hwa Chong Alumni to use their music room every Sunday for practice. It is a way for old friends to meet and jam for fun!

Esplanade Concert Hall

A sketch before the Saturday concert on a new sketchbook supplied by Book Actually to test out the paper for the bookstore. I started with Lamy Pen and it worked well till my ink dried out so I changed to Hero fountain pen which could not skirt smoothly across the paper resulted in dry, broken strokes. But I am still happy with the end result. Done in 10 mins before the show.
