On Wednesday, March 11 at 8 PM, Suara Southeast Asian Choir transforms the .thedecobldg House of Explore Indonesia—a former Art Deco bank now converted into a communal marketplace—into a playground of music. As the title suggests, “Seven Songs, Seven Games” unfolds as an interactive concert experience, with each piece paired with a game. Audiences will not only listen, but clap, respond, and move with us.
The program highlights music from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, the Philippines, and Myanmar, featuring .25ken ‘s “Hela Rotan” (tug of war) from Indonesia; .chilaquil ‘s “AEIOU,” a world premiere composed especially for Suara and inspired by the “red light, green light” game played across the Malay Archipelago; ‘s “Pin Pin De Sarapin,” a Filipino finger-counting game; ‘s “Cak Anom,” a Balinese musical gameplay driven by interlocking rhythms set entirely to nonsense syllables; and ’s “Lenggang Kangkung,” a beloved folk song from the Malay-speaking world that cheekily references rooster fighting (a game we absolutely do not endorse)!
Join Suara for this one-of-a-kind choral program, fueled by 28 voices, that reimagines what a choir concert can be: fun, interactive, and experiential. Tickets on sale today!
