I attended the 2-day symposium held over these 2 days (Fri & Sat) and despite my struggle over jetlag-induced sleep deficiency (ok ok, I did doze off at times), I must say it was a good one, a "mind-opener" to the Asian arts scene for me. And I must admit, it was (sad to say) much more interesting than the other conference which I just came back from.
Well, maybe the context was different, with 1 focusing on libraries (most concepts not new) while this symposium is more academic (content). Or maybe it's the artist side of me "hungry" for all this info. It was indeed enriching and it was really the direction which I was looking at for my specialisation (Asian music) as I'm still quite "blur" about this subject. I wanted to pursue more of trends in music rather than the classical aspect. And furthermore, it is about Asia!
Also, from the symposium, I think I have someone in mind to ask to be my mentor (that is if I can get him as my mentor). He seems to be a busy man, a Singaporean based in US.
Thumbs up! I think this is the inaugural symposium and I do hope to go for future ones.
