Note for Note is a tête-à-tête between a musician and a poet. Collaborating both in form and content, these artists will take to the stage to perform original works. Much like successful fusion cuisine, there is a natural harmony between the rhythms of poetry and music. Musicians bring their own eclectic genres to the poet's table, resulting in a tasting palette that is rich with intertwined layers of meaning. This edition is the first of three in 2018, and will feature poets Theophilus Kwek, Charlene Shepherdson and Marc Nair. They will be paired with musicians Joses Ho, Daniel Tan and Yvonne Teo. Poet & Musician Pairings Theophilus Kwek & Yvonne Teo Charlene Shepherdson & Joses Ho Marc Nair & Daniel TanPhoto creditsPhotos of Charlene Shepherdson and Theophilus Kwek: Copyright Jon Gresham.

It invites audiences to experience and appreciate how words give us the ability to express ourselves as well as give meaning to our lives and the world. With its profound ability to connect and unite, words breathe life into the vast breadth of human thought and feeling, whether spoken or written. In this weekend of words, we also celebrate Singapore literature and the people who have contributed to it. From mastering the craft to those building a community of writers and readers, they are all part of weaving and strengthening the fabric of our literary landscape.About the PoetsMarc Nair Marc Nair is a poet and photographer from Singapore.
