Programme Synopsis Arts Imprints Around My Neighbourhood is a music and storytelling trail that transforms iconic landmarks in Toa Payoh as unusual sites for pop-up performances. Led by the Music Director of the Singapore Youth Chinese Orchestra, Mr Quek Ling Kiong, with performances by vocalist Tay Kexin, storyteller Chen Zhao Jin and other young musicians, it inspires residents to rediscover and appreciate the landmarks that they might have forgotten in their neighbourhood. Journey with us on this music and storytelling trail around Toa Payoh! Be enthralled by pop-up performances – including melodious music on a myriad of Chinese, Malay and Indian instruments, and interactive storytelling – set against well-loved iconic landmarks in Toa Payoh such as The Toa Payoh Town Park and Dragon Playground. Starting from HDB Hub, take a walk down memory lane to The Toa Payoh Town Park where it used to be a popular dating spot in the 70s to 80s. Be serenaded by classic love tunes as you reminisce on memories of your first love. Then embrace the inner child in you as we continue the trail to the Dragon Playground where you get to re-live your childhood through familiar stories and songs about this legendary creature. End the trail on a perfect note back at the HDB Hub and enjoy singing along to favourite melodies that you grow up with! Whether you’re a kid, a parent, a grandparent, or just an adult looking to explore the arts in your neighbourhood, join us for an immersive experience and grab your most-loved company along for a fun and enjoyable time!
