American chamberfolk trio Harpeth Rising toured Singapore from February 28 to March 2 as part of Exchange Programs - U.S. Department of State's American Music Abroad program.
Their local program included school visits, public performances, and a cross-cultural musical collaboration. Harpeth Rising is made up of three classically trained musicians – violinist and songwriter Jordana Greenberg, cellist Maria Di Meglio, and banjoist Michelle Younger – playing original music blending elements of American folk, newgrass, rock, and classical into something organically unique.
The highlight of their visit was an exciting collaboration with Orkestra Melayu Singapura (Singapore Malay Orchestra), where together they played one of Harpeth Rising's songs “Shifted,” and a traditional Malay song, “Joget Pahang.” facebook.com/singapore.usembassy/videos/1182897131884980
During their visit in Singapore, Harpeth Rising discovered an amazing amount of talented young musicians. Singapore’s artistic future is going to be amazing!
