This event will be a splendid celebration of Khmer talent, with a triple
focus on traditional instruments, singing in various styles, and piano.
Traditional Mahaori and Pen Peat orchestras will begin the two halves of the
program. As well, the wonderful large-guitar CHAPEY will be played by Gong
Boran, a son of revered Chapey master Gong Nai. Boran's vigorous,
compelling style shows that Chapey is a truly living art. Khmer
instrumental master Yun Khean Theara will perform on two Cambodian-invented
instruments, the Tro Khmer and Ksae Diw.
Four singers will present two songs each, embracing a rich array of foreign
and Cambodian styles: Khmer composers Sin Sisamuth and King Father Sihanouk,
the Carpenters, Italian opera, jazz, and French. The singers are Mrs. Kim
Neang, Mr. Hy Kimchanthavouth, Mr. Khut Chan Pheap and Mr. Pol Vann Chaom
Mony. As well, a group of University voice students will perform King
Sihanouk's song "Chumno Wicheka".
To round out the program, Mrs. Tep Khuntheareth and Mr. Khim Daravatanak
will perform a piano duet version of the popular American song, "From a
Distance."
Funds raised at the event will further the project to create or repair one
hundred traditional instruments - with well over fifty funded so far, thanks
to Cambodian and foreign supporters and a three-way partnership between the
University and School of Fine Arts (Music Departments), the Cambodia Support
Group, and the Canadian Embassy.
