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.

Really love the super friendly service of Kaohsiung! Hit it off with Joanna and Yuri at the fabulous whiskey library & cafe at the Joy Plaza 2nd floor. Thank you for the excellent recommendations and amazing drinks!! 高雄人情味十足，服務一流，感謝兩位美女的熱情款待和協助介紹好喝的酒！！後會有期！
Workliday afternoon escape before night rehearsals with Natus Cantorum. Hibiki 17 and Balvenie 12 Doublewood Scotch. Didn’t know what to eat so asked the Chef to make whatever he desires. SUPER FAB duck breast and world-class food. Totally worth it! #albertsannotations #kamsg #natuscantorum #sgconductor #sgcomposer #foodie #sgmusician
我們抵達高雄了喔！See you soon! #albertsannotations
Just got back, but if you haven’t already heard… MGS did pretty well! Youth Category (Under 19) Gold Award, Category Champions Sacred Category Gold Award, Second Place Nominated and performed in the Grand Prix Competition (yay more performance opportunity!) and gave everyone a run for their money. Lol. Choir was featured on Vietnam TV (REALLY COOL)! Choir and I learnt tons from jury members in various masterclasses, we sang and performed every day, learnt new repertoire, performed SG music for an international audience, made lotsa new friends, met up with old ones and heard some pretty unique and excellent choirs. OK lah, not too shabby! See ya soon. #albertsannotations #kamsg #mgchoir #HoiAn2019 #VietnamInternationalChoirCompetition #ilovemyjob #sgmusic #sgconductor
