Kroran was an ancient kingdom along the Silk Road that mysteriously disappeared in the 4th century AD. It became famous again in 1980 when a well-preserved female mummy, estimated to have lived in the 20th century BC, was discovered. Composer Chung Yiu-Kwong drew inspiration from this story and the music of the santur, a counterpart of yangqin in Persia, to compose the music that is flavourful of characteristic modes from Asia Minor. An unusual concerto, "Girl from Kroran" opens with a substantial passage in cadenza and will be beautifully complemented by a solo Malay dance.
Catch the Singapore Premiere of "Girl from Kroran" on 20 July at the "Seamless" concert. Tickets: sco.com.sg/en/....
