Natalie Ng's Transcriptions - An evening of songs and stories

𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒆

Are transcriptions a form of musical plagiarism? Or is it just a case of the grass being greener on the other side: a composer sees a piece written by someone else and the melody is so nice that he has to make it his own?

Join pianist Natalie Ng in an evening of classical and jazz transcriptions, and discover the stories behind the songs.
