TAAC LIVE #4: The Tee Trio
Freeness / Structure
Sat 17 Aug | 2 sessions: 5pm & 8pm
75 mins | $20/pax before GST.
ABOUT
Can elements of jazz happen within the ‘confines’ of classical music? The Tee Trio will explore improvisation using classical music structures. With several focus points, they will explore various structures within the freedom of improvisation. They will also play pieces of music that look at the conversational side of music, as well as freeness within structure. Each 75 min set will include conversation among musicians and audience, so ask those questions you always had about classical music as a genre!

ABOUT THE TEE TRIO
Weng Soon Tee, Piano
Laura Armstrong, Cello
Clarissa Lim, Violin
Weng, Laura and Clarissa met in 2016 at the Royal Academy of Music, London, during their undergraduate study. Initially strangers, they were brought together by their love of chamber music and have since performed across England.
Praised for their awareness of ensemble playing and musicality, they were semi-finalists in the St Martin-in-the-Fields International Chamber Music competition in 2017. Following that in Summer 2018, they were invited as Young Artists in the annual Lichfield Festival and Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival (Scotland), and they also gave their debut performance at the renowned St James’ Piccadilly Church in London. Most recently, the trio performed at St Boltoph’s without Aldgate and played in a masterclass with John Myerscough from the renowned Doric String Quartet.
The Tee Trio was also privileged to receive scholarships to study under Thomas Ades in the International Musicians’ Seminar Prussia Cove 2018, as well as with Carole Presland, Leland Chen, Alexander Bailey, Maureen Smith at the Cadenza Music Course. At the Royal Academy of Music, they received regular coachings from David Smith, Michael Foyle, and Nicola Eimer.
