This blog includes my 2 interests: attending arts performances and travels. It serves as a documentation of the Singapore arts and culture scene. For my travels, I hope my experience will make your next trip more fruitful and enjoyable.

Margaret Leng Tan: Cage - Kaprow - Fluxus
I always approach modern music with apprehension. The concert by Margaret Leng Tan was no exception. We had Margaret Leng Tan playing John Cage's 4' 33" on toy piano, and Music for Amplified Toy Pianos. Some pieces were more performance art to me, such as George Brecht's 5 event scores where not much music was performed. Another piece Dick Higgins's Danger Music no 17 (Scream! Scream! Scream! Scream! Scream!), just involved, literally, screaming. One scream was aiming at the street.
But it was a joy watching Margaret Leng Tan in concert. She seemed to be having fun. She would be back for the 2015 Singapore International Festival of Arts main programme and let's see what she could come up with.
