Thank you for visiting this site.
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 casual, eclectic, joyful, whimsical, romantic, 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!
