Parlando is the official quarterly electronic newsletter for the Euroasia Association of Performing Arts. The word “Parlando” refers to an Italian music direction for a singer to sing in a conversational style - thus, this newsletter will be Euroasia’s way of talking with our audience, while remaining true to our roots in performing arts. In Volume I, No. 3 (2015), we get ready for the Euroasia Violin Competition and the 3rd Euroasia Youth Music Festival; the Inaugural Johor Bahru Classical Music Festival is a hit; the ASEAN Universities Orchestra performs; an exclusive interview with legendary Malaysian composer/arranger Dato' Dr. Johari Salleh; the French Arts Festival returns; Saturday string masterclasses; Arioso Sinfonia plays a solid supporting role; and Variazioni discusses the importance of listening.
