Write-An-Art-Song is a workshop taught by composer professor P.Q. Phan. Class meets four evenings Monday to Thursday, and each participant finishes a song. Professional musicians, Dr Bằng-Lăng Đỗ, a pianist, and Bích Vân, a soprano, have a look at the music sheets for the first time on Friday afternoon. They take a few hours to rehearse the songs in the presence of professor P.Q. Phan. The duo perform the songs on Saturday evening in a recital that concludes the workshop.
The recital is to honor and celebrate achievements by workshop graduates who work extremely hard for four days with an open mind to complete a task using methods they have never done before.
The workshop and the ensuing recital are made possible by a team of highly professional artists: Dr P.Q. Phan walks participants through a scientific process that demystifies any creative concepts they may have, Dr Bằng-Lăng Đỗ provides an on-the-spot arrangement that highlights the English or Vietnamese text of each song, and soprano Bích Vân who reads and learns the new music quickly and who is capable of singing proficiently in both English and Vietnamese.
The general purposes of this songwriting workshop are to bring home the value of creativity, to give community members a taste of it, and ultimately to raise awareness of the importance of art in our life.
Reception to follow. Free admission.
