Sunway University Press is proud to have been part of the vibrant opening ceremony of the 13th Southeast Asia Director of Music Association (SEADOM) Congress on 7 March 2024. With a line-up of exhibitors, Sunway University Press showcased its latest publications and invited guests to explore a diverse range of books covering historical, artistic and cultural topics.
Themed “Heritage and Evolving Identities in Southeast Asia”, the congress kickstarted with a warm welcome by Prof Sibrandes Poppema, President of Sunway University, and an invigorating address by Prof Mayco A Santaella, Dean of the School of Arts at Sunway University. Dr Anothai Nitibhon, esteemed musical composer and SEADOM President, then set the stage for the evening with an insightful introduction highlighting the importance of preserving Southeast Asia’s musical legacy.
Attendees were later treated to captivating musical performances which put the talent and artistry of Southeast Asian performers on display. As the music faded into the night, attendees then gathered for a welcome dinner where lively conversations and networking opportunities abounded. Against the convivial atmosphere, participants forged new connections and renewed old acquaintances, laying the groundwork for fruitful collaborations in the days ahead.
Sunway University Press would like to thank SEADOM and Sunway University’s School of Arts for supporting its dedication to contributing to the scholarly and cultural mosaic of Southeast Asia.
