“ALL EARS, NO BOUNDS” Improv Workshop & Concert Wuji Ensemble cherishes the belief that music is an art form imbued with vitality. Music originates from “pouring from the heart and expressing naturally”. As the medium of communication, sheet music should be opened for modification. From time to time, improvisation cropping up during a performance are conducive to unexpected effects of music. Apart from live gigs, Wuji Ensemble proactively arranged school workshops. Instructed by Mavis Lam - leader of Wuji Ensemble - and jazz musician Lui Ngao-yuen, students could have a taste of improvisation techniques both in jazz and Chinese music. Eschewing the conventionally fastidious approach of reciting the score, students are allowed to enunciate their inner thoughts and feelings through their improvised notes that are free and volatile. Mavis Lam and Nui Ngao-yuen used to be secondary school schoolmates of the same grade. While one of them was a liberal arts student practising Chinese music, the other pursued science and jazz. Despite such sheer dissimilarities, the two managed to develop chemistry immediately upon conversing about the collective memory of their middle school life.
