Frankly, I’m a little surprised to learn that YAZERS was the first Singaporean choir to compete at the Bali International Choral Festival. Before I head back to work proper, my dear friends, here are 7 reasons why you should go to the next BICF! 1. A highly competent and international panel of adjudicators. 2. High standards of singing from participants. It was quite educational just to observe the performances of others. 3. Colourful in every sense of the word (so many different singing styles, music, costumes etc.) 3. Parade of delegates - hot… but cool. 4. The awesomest awards ceremony with the coolest and most stunning backdrop I’ve ever seen. Add a dash of fire eaters, dancers, live gamelan performance and singing, theatrical lighting, FIREWORKS (seriously it was like a mini National Day Parade), epic avengers movie soundtrack etc. and you know it’s a smokin’ hot dish. 5. A++ affordable food, beer and massages. 6. Pradise on earth with the sun, sand and the sea… it was lovely doing morning run along the sea. 🥰 7. It’s BALI, Indonesia. Wonderful memories, adventure aplenty every day at every corner! #albertsannotations #yazers #乐者 #vocal #sgmusic #sgmusician #sgchoral #sgconductor #kamsg #singingtogetherbetter #spectabicf2019 #bicf8 #bicf2019 #ilovebali #friendlypeople #lovelycompany #leftmyheartbehind #eatlivebreathmusic
Chance meeting at the lobby with esteemed colleagues and we all ended the day in tears 😭… because… we laughed so much until we tak boleh tahan (cannot stand it)! 😱😆🤣 Hoping this won’t be the last gathering!! #albertsannotations #singingjury #laughingiscontagious #hasitsadvantages #yazers #乐者 #vocal #BICF2019 #sgmusic #sgmusician #sgchoral #sgconductor #kamsg #singingtogetherbetter #spectabicf2019 #bicf8 #bicf2019

YAZERS and I have been having lotsa fun at the 8th Bali International Choral Festival eating living breathing music and having tasty food! We’ll be performing choral music from Singapore, Taiwan and USA this afternoon. YAZERS is one my youngest choral groups and am really proud of them (and the stuff I’ve learnt from the Kodaly Institute, it really works for everyone if they are willing to try…) for the transformative growth they’ve displayed over the last 5 years. It’s our first tour together so wish us luck! P.S. If I haven’t managed to reply your emails/SMSes, I still 💗 you ok, so sorry will try to do so very soon! ❤️#albertsannotations #yazers #乐者 #bicf2019 #ilovemyjob #sgmusician #sgconductor #sgmusic #kamsg
I’ve taught and performed for charity since college days, but the latest volunteer work for pop/show choir/ensemble YAZERS somehow became one of my longest running (5-years!!) and is by far one of the most satisfying! YAZERS started out as a non-auditioned group of volunteers with an overwhelming majority of them singing in a choir for the first time (even 2-part canon was pretty disastrous at the time 😆)… the (good-looking) membership hasn’t changed all that much but now, we sing in parts, write our own arrangements, commission fab composers and arrangers to write for us, dance and move on stage, beatbox, experiment musically in different genres without fear or favour etc. It was pretty inspiring to see the amazing transformation that happens when Kodály-inspired educational philosophy and tools are applied on the willing and determined. They in turn have taught me some pretty wise things about competitions, compassion, mindfulness and inclusiveness. There is no end to the perfection of craft in the Arts and yes there’ll be things for us to work on and polish going forward, but last night’s performance was pretty awesome! Thank you to 春景班长, venue sponsors, fellow teachers, artists and choristers who’ve helped YAZERS come all this way! Thank you YAZERS for letting this music nerd come along for the ride. Next time you hear them will be at the Bali International Choral Festival in a week’s time. Wish us luck and see ya then! #albertsannotations #kamsg #ilovemyjob #yazers #乐者 #sgconductor #sgmusic #sgmusician #singaporemusic
It’s been an unusually busy year and am starting to fall sick for the first time in ages (think it’s the cosmos telling me to take a break). But it’s art-making moments like these that make it all worthwhile. Thank you Natus Cantorum and Taiwan for the escape from reality and giving this young composer- conductor a stage to be free and share music from Singapore.
