The Little Blue Notebook
The Little Blue Notebook is my debut project as a solo pianist and toy pianist.
This recital will be making its tour from September to October 2026 as part of the Dutch Classical Talent competition. It is directed by Arthur Buchholz (NL) and I will be joined on stage by Ashley Ho (SG).
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.” — Lewis Carroll
The little blue notebook is lost.
The one that held the countless stories of a young, imaginative soul.
As Elizabeth attempts to recollect memories of the notebook and its contents,
old and new stories unfold, depicted musically through piano and toy piano.
The line between reality and imagination gradually blur in a musical wonderland of
unexpected repertoire, extended techniques, and electronics;
thrilling and at times unsettling.
The Little Blue Notebook is an out-of-the-box piano recital weaving music, storytelling,
and collaboration with a movement artist, inviting audiences to
reflect on the role of imagination in a troubled world.
