TUNES OF MIN NAN
To promote Chinese culture and heritage, the Singapore Chinese Orchestra holds an annual concert that spotlights a different Chinese dialect each time. This year, the performance is dedicated to min nan, spoken by people from southern Fujian, which includes places such as Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Xiamen. The programme includes performances of gaojia opera, a traditional form of opera from Quanzhou dating back to China's late Ming dynasty, and nanyin, an ancient Chinese music art form from the Han dynasty. Top Quanzhou artists Chen Jiang Feng and Chen Juan Juan will perform at the concert, with the orchestra's music director Tsung Yeh as conductor.

GENEVIEVE CHUA: PARABOLA
Fresh from her North American debut in August at Gusford Gallery in Los Angeles, Singaporean artist Genevieve Chua shows a new body of work from her Unnatural History Drawings series, which is inspired by the taxonomic system of specimens. The paintings in her solo exhibition draw on the significance of the pelvic bone in evolutionary science, with the anatomical feature referenced in the curved edges of the canvases. The paintings continue to express her interest in things unseen and the deafeningly silent fear that stems from the unknown.

WITHIN
Digging deep into human emotions, this dance production is a personal response to the turmoil of the times by prominent dancer-choreographer Aditi Mangaldas, who is known for expanding the vocabulary of the Indian classical dance form kathak. The show, divided into two segments, begins with a contemporary piece based on kathak. It is followed by a classical kathak dance, performed to live music, which examines the essence of human nature through the complexity of emotions. The performance is part of Kalaa Utsavam, the Esplanade's annual festival of Indian arts.
