Stringanza

​

Envisioning a Chinese String Quartet in Singapore, Stringanza was spontaneously formed by four friends in 2009. It showcases the Chinese two-stringed fiddle, Erhu and its variations, Gaohu and Zhonghu, playing alongside a Western Cello. Each fiddle varies in their tone quality and pitch resulting in an eclectic blend of sonority and timbre unique to the quartet.

Simply for the love of playing together, Stringanza works towards making the arts accessible to the community. Since then, Stringanza has taken on different platforms to engage different audiences locally. Always keen to explore new platforms and performance concepts, Stringanza's outreach efforts include performances at the Esplanade Concourse, National University of Singapore (NUS), Gardens by the Bay, St. John's Home for the elderly, Asian Civilisations Museum, Ulu Pandan Community Club and many more.

In the recent years, Stringanza has been actively recording and producing music videos to further supplement the quartet’s usual outreach performances.

Nen

​

念 (pronounced as “Nen’” in Japanese) is an extremely versatile character, meaning either thought or speech. By adding an appropriate character to it, all levels of thoughts can express from the basic to the metaphysical, or even spiritual. The character was adapted as the name of the band as we realized that we engage all types of Nen while we compose and listen to music.

​

Nen comprises of 3 local musicians with a dream to produce the sounds they have been hearing in their heads. Despite majoring in traditional Chinese instruments, other western instruments can also be seen in their hands. With their musical creations and the belief that music has no boundaries, Nen wishes to connect to the audience with a wide range of music consisting of different genres.

​

Playing a part in contributing to the conservation and development of chinese music, Nen has been actively inheriting and propagating the art by putting what we have learnt throughout the years into arranging works based on traditional pieces and new compositions of our own.
