For the picnickers who don't already know me, my name is Njo Kong Kie.
Why Music Picnic? Well, I like what the name suggests:
music which is informal, inclusive, eclectic, whimsical, intimate and delicious -
key ingredients to a great picnicking experience.
Please follow the links above for my various pursuits in composition and performance.
Come picnic with us!
