C2 Mass CT Session with artist, director and composer Niranjan Pandian

In light of the National Day spirit, the C2s were joined by artist, director and composer Niranjan Pandian during their mass CT session. His performance was titled “The Sound of Home: An Artist's Journey Through Singapore’s Multicultural Landscape”.

Using the Indian flutes, he represented Singapore’s unique tapestry, by mixing music from different communities and cultures together. The mass CT session started with a medley of “Home” by Kit Chan, followed by him sharing his musical journey and lastly, the batch enjoyed hands-on activities such as co-composing and playing with different rhythms.

The session was extremely fulfilling and enriching, giving our C2s exposure to numerous aspects of music. Beyond that, the session served as a reminder of the unique, racially diverse society in Singapore, and how different cultures can integrate and come together as one community.
