The Nü Voice – Performance by the Eklektik Music Duo on March 8
The Eklektik Music Duo (Andrea Willis and Megaria Halim) will perform on the SDU Stage in the Dr. Steel Recital Hall on March 8, 2025, at 7:30 pm.
The name Nü Voice is derived from the word “new,” reflecting our commitment to programming not only contemporary music but also works by underrepresented composers. Additionally, Nü means “women” in Chinese, underscoring our dedication to featuring female composers in this concert’s program.
In this program, we seek to highlight women from two contrasting realms—mythology and history. Featuring legendary figures such as Penelope and Calypso to esteemed historical figures like Canadian folklorist Helen Creighton, our selection weaves together diverse narratives across time.
During their graduate studies at the University of Western Ontario, Andrea Willis and Megaria Halim discovered a shared passion for exploring new, unconventional, and underrepresented musical works. With an abundance of remarkable repertoire for piano and voice—many of which remain underperformed—they were inspired to form the Eklektik Music Duo. Derived from the Greek word eklektikos, meaning “choosing the best from various sources,” their name reflects their commitment to drawing inspiration from diverse genres and styles, creating a truly distinctive sound.
