“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.
The Zenith Trio was active from 2022 to 2025, consisting of Ileana Termini, Mafalda Oliveria (saxophonists) and Elizabeth Goh (pianist).
A unique combination of two saxophones and piano, their vision is to bring new colours to the classical music soundscape with their youthful and vibrant energy. Performing actively around The Netherlands, the trio’s repertoire includes transcriptions, original compositions, as well as their own commissions to young, up-and-coming composers.

What is home? It can be a physical space, a group of friends, the smell of familiar food, one’s native language, the feeling of comfort… Home can be many things and it can also be in music.
In 2023, Elizabeth and Madeline Saputra, who met as colleagues in the Conservatory of Amsterdam, got together for a school project. As one of the few Southeast Asians in the school, they felt drawn to creating a project exploring how they can fuse their cultural identities with their classical background. The result of this was the project, Rumah, meaning “home” in Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia. Together, Elizabeth and Madeline invite audiences to join in their exploration of the many layers that “home” can exist in, through unheard classical music from Singapore and Indonesia.
Rumah has been performed in various unique locations, including art galleries and famous venues such as Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and The Esplanade in Singapore, and has been featured multiple times on NPO Klassiek (Dutch classical music radio programme).
