烟花易冷 - 周杰伦 Jay Chou (19/12/2015)

Envisioning a Chinese String Quartet in Singapore, Stringanza was spontaneously formed by four friends, Kwuan Boon, Weilin, Kok Jun and Vincent 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 included, performances at the Esplanade Concourse, National University of Singapore (NUS), Ulu Pandan Community Club, St. John's Home for the elderly, Asian Civilisations Museum and more... 

Stringanza was recently featured on Straits' Times Life in an article on Chinese chamber ensembles in Singapore. Stringanza is enthusiastic about novel collaborations and the community arts.
