He was inspired after listening to Cho's performance of Water Haiku to compose one haiku each for the other elements - Gold, Wood, Fire, Earth - to make up his suite Elemental Haiku.
The piece is mysterious, earthy and meditative, in contrast to the fluid, playful Water Haiku.
The performance of Wood Haiku, Water Haiku and other selected pieces by Johan Othman and other Asia Pacific composers will be accompanied by video imagery.
