SUMMARY:SagoBako in Concert - SEA Debut Tour\, Singapore
DESCRIPTION:Guitar duo brings Southeast Asian virtuosity to Singapore in highly anticipated debut \n\nSingapore is set to welcome the SagoBako guitar duo for the first time\, as the celebrated pair of classical guitarists embarks on a 15-city tour across Southeast Asia. \n\n\n\n\n\nHuy Quang Tran from Vietnam and Wadcharin Suksabsri from Thailand—known for their intricate artistry and profound musical synergy—will perform on May 10 at Bechstein Music World Recital Hall in Shenton Way. They will introduce local audiences to a repertoire that blends European and Latin American classical traditions with the duo’s signature interpretations. \nTheir programme will feature works composed or arranged for two guitars by Enrique Granados\, Vasquez Edmundo\, Leo Brouwer\, Matthias Duplessy\, Ruperto Chapi\, and Justo Tomás Morales\, among others. Notable duets include Granados’ Danzas Españolas (Oriental\, Andaluza\, and Villanesca)—reimagined for two guitars—and Edmundo’s evocative Suite Populaire. \n\n\nEach guitarist will also perform solo pieces\, including works by Leo Brouwer\, Máximo Diego Pujol\, and Ariel Ramírez. \nCross-border musical dialogue \nSagoBako is a portmanteau of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and Bangkok\, the two home cities that shaped their artistic journeys. Huy and Suksabsri first crossed paths at the 2018 Southeast Asia Guitar Festival & Performance Awards in Bangkok\, where a shared reverence for the classical guitar sparked a collaboration. \n\n\n\n\nIn 2023\, Huy and Suksabsri formed SagoBako\, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of classical guitar performance while preserving its time- honoured traditions. \nTheir 2025 tour will see them perform across Vietnam\, Singapore\, and Thailand\, with stops in Ho Chi Minh City\, Can Tho\, Long Xuyên\, Dalat\, Haiphong\, and Hanoi before arriving in Singapore. The tour will culminate in May at the Southeast Asia Guitar Festival & Performance Awards in Bangkok\, a fitting finale to their musical odyssey. \nMasters of their craft \nNo stranger to their native classical guitar scenes\, Huy\, 34\, a graduate of the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music\, has represented Vietnam in national classical guitar competitions. The prize-winner of Saigon International Guitar Festival (2017\, 2019) continues to shape the next generation of musicians as an educator and performer. \n\n\nSuksabsri\, 35\, a Bangkok native\, began his musical journey at age 14 and went on to earn both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music Performance from Silpakorn University. The prize-winner of Martinez Thailand Guitar Competition 2020 has also participated in international guitar festivals across Asia\, earning acclaim for his expressive interpretations and technical finesse. \nThrough their performances\, SagoBako aims to bridge cultures through the classical guitar. Their Singapore debut is not just a showcase of technical mastery but a testament to the instrument’s evolving possibilities in the hands of two of Southeast Asia’s most compelling musicians.

SUMMARY:The Intimate Salon: YS Tang Classical Guitar Recital
DESCRIPTION:Distinguished Malaysian Classical Guitarist YS Tang Makes Debut in Singapore \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYS Tang\, a distinguished figure in Malaysia’s classical music landscape\, is poised to captivate Singapore’s music enthusiasts with his debut performance on October 12\, 2024 at MusArt Concert Hall at Raeburn Park. The Singapore leg is part of his highly anticipated 2024 tour that includes performances in Kuala Lumpur\, Muar\, Yong Peng\, Melaka\, Alor Setar\, and Penang. \nFor his Singapore debut\, Tang will deliver a thoughtfully-curated programme that draws from both European and South American traditions\, featuring works from Johann Sebastian Bach\, Spanish composers\, and Brazilian guitar music. Tang views the concert as an homage to the historical ‘salon-style’ performances that date back to the 19th century. \nHe says: “I’ve structured this performance to echo the intimate musical gatherings made famous by composers like Franz Schubert and Francisco Tárrega. It’s about bringing the audience closer to the music in a way that transcends grand venues.” \nA graduate of Texas Tech University with a Master’s degree in Music Performance\, Tang\, who hails from Kuala Lumpur\, has over 25 years of experience. The artist has continuously expanded the reach of classical music through concerts\, public seminars\, and youth outreach initiatives. Tang is also a dedicated collaborator\, performing with chamber ensembles and focusing on early music\, and a vast repertoire that spans from Bach to Barrios. \n\n\n\n\nTang’s Singapore debut is more than a recital; it is a celebration of classical music’s ability to connect people across generations and geographies. Audiences can expect not only technical brilliance but also a deeply immersive experience that highlights Tang’s commitment to the classical guitar as both an art form and a medium for storytelling.
