My thanks go out to the Philharmonic Chamber Choir of Singapore who kindly allowed one of their own members to present a concert which in addition to its alignment with the Singapore Art Museum’s exhibition, was also the opportunity for me to present a public performance as a choral conductor, in fulfillment of the audition requirements for my pursuit of further studies in Choral Conducting.

While not by far, the most polished performance that the choir has presented, the concert attracted an audience of people who would not otherwise normally have experienced the beauty of choral music, and thus I hope helps to develop the love of music in Singapore in some small way.

Details of the performance were as follows:
