This October, as a tribute to Singapore’s 50th year of independence, the 5th Singapore Lieder Festival presents a series of 3 recitals dedicated to the works of local composers.
The Sing Song Club is Singapore’s only art song collective. The Club will be performing commissioned new works which will receive their world premieres at the Festival on top of the existing repertoire of local art songs and chamber works for voice. Look forward to works by Singapore’s pioneering composers such as the late Leong Yoon Pin, Cultural Medallion recipient Dr Kelly Tang, Young Artist Award recipient Dr Zechariah Goh, as well as the new generation of young, upcoming composers.
