UCSI Contemporary Music Festival 2011

Malaysian jazz aficionados are in for a treat this month when UCSI University launches its Inaugural Contemporary Music Festival. Taking place on the 26th & 27th of November, the two-day festival will be taking place at the South Wing of the University’s Kuala Lumpur campus. As the event wraps up the UCSI Group’s 25th anniversary celebrations, the festival is free for the public. In addition, some of the performing artistes will be hosting workshops and aficionados may benefit from sessions with the masters.

After many months of planning, paired with an impressive lineup of international & Malaysian artistes together. Top of the bill is two-time Grammy Award winning Cuban jazz pianist and composer Gonzalo Rubalcaba who will be flying in from Florida. Having performed before in Japan, this will be Rubalcaba’s first ever gig in Malaysia and the South East Asian region. Rubalcaba’s achievements include 14 Grammy nominations, the Palm d’Or from Paris and, in 2008, the Vanguard Award from the ASCAP Foundation for ‘charting new directions in Jazz’. He has made many recordings, four of which were awarded Jazz Album of the Year in 1995, 1999 and 2002. Rubalcaba will be performing together with his trio on Sunday evening and will also conduct one of the many workshops on Sunday afternoon.

The international lineup continues with performances by Greg Lyons and his London Connection band. Hailing from the North of England, Lyons is well known to audiences in Malaysia and Singapore for his melodic and groove-driven compositions that mix an eclectic range of influences. Greg and members of his band will be playing on Saturday night, after hosting a workshop in the afternoon.

The Malaysian contingent includes the cream of local jazz performers: The Roger Wang Trio, Lewis Pragasam and ASIABEAT and the WVC TRiO+1. Roger Wang is an award-winning composer and is known widely as an acoustic finger-style guitarist. He will be performing on Saturday evening and will be lecturing a masterclass earlier that afternoon. ASIABEAT is the brainchild of Lewis Pragasam and is an on-going, ever evolving project to explore and experiment with the synthesis of ethnic Asian and contemporary music. ASIABEAT can be enjoyed during the concert on Sunday evening. The WVC TRiO+1 was formed by well-known Malaysian jazz pianist Tay Cher Siang. Cher Siang and his band have performed in Malaysia, China, Singapore, and Thailand. Their third album ‘In the Dark I see Her’ was released in 2010 in conjunction with the Taichung Jazz Festival held in Taiwan. WVC TRiO+1 will be playing on Saturday evening and Cher Siang‘s workshop will be held on Saturday afternoon.

UCSI University School of Music’s very own faculty and student band will be performing on Sunday evening. This band, featuring up to 21 performers accentuating compositions and arrangements by UCSI's very own faculty members, promises to provide a rousing close to the festival on Sunday.

The 2-day concert will be held on the Hill Top Stage within the South Wing. There will also be a Community Stage which will host performances by invited and auditioned local students and amateur bands. This is situated between Blocks B and C of the South Wing, Kuala Lumpur campus.

The Hill Top performances on Saturday and Sunday evenings begin at 7.00pm and admission is free of charge. The workshops will run concurrently within the Recital Hall and Auditorium of Block C from 2.00 to 6.00pm on both days, together with the Community Stage performances.


*Admission for Gonzalo Rubalcaba’s workshop is RM50, where else all other workshops cost RM30 per workshop.

Mini Water Dispenser by Spritzer

I've had alot of new toys coming in recently and one of it that stood out was the mini water dispenser by Spritzer!

It's newly patented design along with the classic green 'Spritzer' colour literally lights up the area wherever I place it (Car, room, kitchen, office, toilet)

It's so convenient for me when I'm at my workstation as I dont have to leave my sit to get water.

Unlike the old fashioned water dispensers that weighs a ton, this mini water dispenser by Spritzer makes it easy to carry around/clean. It's lightweight yet sturdy at the same time.

*photo for illustration purposes only*

Apart from the dispenser itself, the Spritzer water comes in 2 sizes - 9.5L & 6L and is available in Mineral, Distilled or Reverse Osmosis. The bottles are friendly in size, friendly to use, and most importantly friendly on the environment as it uses 50% less PET material compared to the old fashioned 18.9L container.

Due to the water bottle's friendly size, it makes changing the water supply on the water dispenser so easy, especially for the ladies.

I'm also able to quench my thirst while getting stuck in the Malaysian traffic jam.

You can get your hands on the mini water dispenser by Spritzer at the nearest Giant, Cold Storage and selected petrol kiosk today!

--------------------

FYI, Spritzer in Malaysia is synonym with quality bottled water. They have been around since the 1980’s and started operation in Taiping, Perak. Their facility is 300 acres wide and covered in lush greenery of Taiping. Natural Mineral water produced at the plant has a green cap to denote that they are mineral water. The mineral water is sourced from 400ft underground and then hygienically filtered and bottled to international standards. The products are duly certified by ABWA (Asia Middle East Bottled Water Association) and certified to ISO 9001:2008 and HACCP (MS 1480:2007 and Codex Alimentarius) by SIRIM QAS International & SGS respectively.
