Crossover Workshop #5: Make It Local! Instrument DIY Family WorkshopDrip Music

On Christmas Day, "Ensemble Transience: Composition & Improvisation–Encore" presents a family workshop that celebrates traditional local crafts and music. Parents and children are welcome to join us for a fun music experience!

Under the guidance of the local bamboo craftsman Master Ng Kong Kin ( 吳江乾 ) in the Pok Fu Lam Village, participants will learn about the traditional bamboo craft and its applications, and make their own music instruments with bamboo and natural materials found in the village. The workshop will also make use of used objects brought by the participants, and up-cycle them into a "local instruments combo". The event will be concluded by a play-together session led by musician Candace Lee.

Workshop participants are invited to bring one used object that can make sounds by hitting on it. Suitable objects will be incorporated into the "local instrument combo".

The "local music combos" will be exhibited at the Transience Music Festival on 7 January 2023. Festival audience members can jam with Master Ng using the instrument combos as well as a huge bamboo guitar installation created by the master specially for the festival.

Language: Cantonese
Target: Children aged 6-12 years old; each participant must be accompanied by a guardian ( admission fee includes the participant and the guardian )
