Artist-in-Residence
Series I “With Friends”
TOCCATA Studio follows the
traditional footsteps of established arts centres and institutions to introduce
the Artist-in-Residence Programme – a residency opportunity which seems foreign
and new in our local arts scene yet widely practised in other countries.
TOCCATA Studio, being a space to provide all manner of creative people to
reflect, research, present and produce, welcomes Yann Shie OH, the first
Malaysian to graduate with a doctoral degree in piano performance from the
prestigious Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatoire in Russia (alma mater of
Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Richter, Gilels, Rostropovich, Gidon Kremer, Mikhail
Pletnev & Ivo Pogorelich to name a few) to kick-start this project for 2013
with 5 concerts spanning over 3 weeks this summer.
An Artist-in-Residence
programme allows a creative individual to explore his/her practise within
another community; meeting new people; experiencing inspiration in a new
location. It emphasizes the importance of multi-layered cultural exchange.
Having said, our first series “With Friends” features an all-Malaysian
team of musicians with different cultural and training background to delight
the audience and music lovers with a detour of classical music from the 17th
century Baroque era to present day; from China to Russia, each performance with
a short introduction on the programme by our Artist-in-Residence.
The programme for Series I
focuses on the collaboration with string instruments: apart from a piano-viola
recital featuring Baroque and Classical works; a Viennese waltzing piano four
hands (which happens to be the unofficial premier performance in Malaysia
despite it being one of Schubert’s monumental composition of this genre) and
two contrasting concertos (a violin and a cello) written in the same year yet
6,000km apart. You will also witness our Artist-in-Residence as she transforms
the role of the modern day piano into the 17th century clavichord
and juggles the sounds of various instruments in an orchestra.
TOCCATA Studio would like
to thank Dr. Samuel KAM Sheung Woo for his avid support for
our Artist-in-Residence programme and also extend our gratitude to Graceful
Piano Sdn. Bhd.’s sponsorship for this particular Series I.
Trained in the USA, violist
and researcher Andrew FILMER (of ¾ Malaysian Chinese and ¼ British) is a
New Zealand International Doctoral Scholar, where he currently resides in.
Specialising in alternative tunings and systematic variation, his performance
interests covers mainly repertoire of the 17th, 18th and
21st Centuries. Mr. Filmer also holds a degree in journalism from
the University Sains Malaysia, his articles and editions published in various
music journals in the UK, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. The seminar and
master class on 6th July 2013 will be an eye-opener for string
players as he demonstrates the use of the Baroque and Classical bows on modern
day violin and viola.
WONG Chee Yean received his
training from the UK, the Netherlands and the USA before returning to Malaysia,
where he lectures at various local universities and is known as an established
accompanist. He is also an accomplished composer, with works being published in
the Netherlands and premiered at the MPO Composers FORUM. He is also the
official pianist for MPO’s High Winds Ensemble and was commissioned to compose
for various music festivals locally and abroad.
The closing concert
features the young cellist Aamil SULAIMAN, who is currently pursuing
his Masters Degree in the USA and Christina HUANG, a semi-professional
violinist with a degree in English Literature & Customer Relationship who
diligently and passionately strives for perfection in music making.
Last but not the least, Yann
Shie OH was remarked by Gary Graffmann – “I would love to hear more about you!”
after her performance at the Oxford Philomusica Piano Festival in 2009. Known
for her uncategorised interpretation on the keyboard, her versatility has taken
her from giving talks, performing, producing and adjudicating to securing the
position of acting stage manager for the renowned St. Petersburg Mariinsky
Ballet and Theatre on their debut South-East Asian tour in 2011 at The
Esplanade in Singapore. Having spent 10 years in Russia, Yann Shie’s residency
at TOCCATA Studio enables her to utilities its platform to collaborate with
musicians from all walks of life and to share her experience in music making
with the local public.
Artist-in-Residence
Series I “With Friends”
驻院艺术家系列之一 · “以音会友”
从创办至今历时一年有余，TOCCATA Studio 策划和举办了多种不同性质的音乐会，其中包括乐器， 舞蹈，声乐，还有座谈及文艺展览。今年夏天，TOCCATA Studio再次担当起前卫的角色，在我国推介“驻院艺术家”这个概念。其实，此概念对于其他国家的艺术团体和支持艺术活动的机构一点也不陌生；它甚至可说是艺术界的一个传统。不过在我国仍然新颖，所以TOCCATA Studio如今自告奋勇将这历久弥新的概念引进马来西亚，为各种创意领域的艺术家们提供一个交流和演出的空间。于此，TOCCATA Studio迎来旅俄钢琴家胡彦思 --- 第一位获得音乐界著名学府莫斯科柴可夫斯基音乐院演奏博士学位，主修钢琴，副修室内乐重奏及声乐伴奏的大马人。
在“驻院艺术家计划”下，艺术家将有机会扩大他的社交圈子、扩展其专业领域、体验新环境所能提供给他的创作灵感。这个计划强调多层次文化的交流。“以音会友”隆重推荐一个纯粹以马来西亚国民组成的音乐团队。他们各有不同的文化和训练背景，为大家带来跨越3大洋5大洲从17世纪至近代的作品，每场演出还附带由彦思亲为大家准备的曲目解说。
“以音会友”这个系列着重钢琴与弦乐器的合作：
- 有钢琴搭配中提琴为大家带来的巴洛克和古典时期的乐章；
- 一曲四手联弹的典型维也纳华尔兹也将首度在本地登场；
- 以及两首皆创作于1959年对比强烈的协奏曲（小提琴和大提琴）。
观众也将有机会目睹彦思在键盘上不同的“触键” --- 除了将一现代钢琴转换成17世纪的击弦古钢琴来配合中提琴的曲目，还会在伴奏协奏曲同时模仿交响乐团里各种乐器的声音。
Andrew FILMER（¾ 大马华人和¼英国人血统）在美国接受专业训练，刚刚在纽西兰获得博士学位的音乐学者，目前也居住在该国。他的专长是替代调音以及系统变化，擅17世纪、18世纪和21世纪的曲目，偶尔也会玩爵士音乐。他持有马来西亚理科大学的新闻学学士学位，其文字作品时常在英美纽澳等国的音乐杂志上发表。2013年6月3日所安排的讲座和大师班上，Andrew将为大家讲解如何在现代的小提琴和中提琴上使用巴洛克和古典时期的弓，届时肯定让参与者大开眼界。
王志远在回马之前曾在英国、荷兰和美国三地学习与工作， 目前在本地数间大学任教，是本地著名的钢琴伴奏。他也是位作曲家，其作品曾在荷兰被发表和，也被选用在大马爱乐(MPO)的作曲家论坛系列。他也是MPO High Winds
Ensemble的官方钢琴家，常受邀在我国和国外的许多音乐节、音乐会上演出。
7月20号闭幕音乐会上，为大家推荐青年留美在籍硕士生大提琴家Aamil SULAIMAN，以及黄凯女士，一位拥有英语文学与客户关系学位的业余小提琴手，却同时对古典音乐有无限热情及生生不息的完美追求。
异国十年寒窗促成彦思对人生，文化及艺术天马行空的想法，尤其在钢琴演绎上的独特见解更让她2009
年在英国牛津大学 Oxford Philomusica Piano Festival 得到 Mr. Gary
Graffmann （郎朗美国的教授）不凡的评价 --- “I would love to
hear more about you!”。 除了钻研俄罗斯钢琴学派的悠久历史，彦思也钟情俄国文化，对俄语的掌握让她顺理成章的担当起居世界牛耳之St. Petersburg
Mariinsky Ballet and Theatre 2011 年9月莅临新加坡演出的舞台总监，表现深受好评，今年11月将再度被莫斯科 Bolshoi Ballet and Theatre 指定为在新加坡演出的舞台总监。彦思希望通过与 TOCCATA Studio 的合作，将她所吸取到的音乐，艺术精华和人生经验分享给本地的青年音乐学生和爱好音乐的朋友，与从事音乐教育的老师及音乐工作者们互换心得。
“驻院艺术家计划” 是一项非营利性的活动， 加上艺术工作坊本身就是非营利性质，所以需要社会人士的支持与赞助。在此我们特别感谢香港大学荣誉博士甘尚武先生对胡彦思和“驻院艺术家计划”的信心与支持，还有 Graceful Piano Sdn. Bhd. 钢琴行给这5场 音乐会的赞助。
