The Huayi Festival 2009 kicks off today! This is an annual arts festival staged by The Esplanade in celebration of the Chinese New Year and to promote the work of Chinese performing artists. Currently in its seventh edition, the festival will run from January 30 to Feburary 8, with a wide range of both ticketed and free programmes to cater to both the young and old.
I am particularly interested in the in::music series, which showcases indie singer-songwriters and bands. This year, the geeky-looking Crowd Lu Guang Zhong will be performing, as well as Taiwanese band Mrs. This (MySpace). The former is a relative newcomer with a penchant for cheerful folk-pop tunes whereas the latter has a female lead vocalist which reminds me of Faye Wong. Female singer-songwriter Cao Fang, retro band Wonfu and rock group 1976 make up the rest of the pack.
Get your tickets through Sistic.
