Join us for Music and Makan - Violin Virtuosity! on Sunday, 12 August 2018 from 5-7pm! We are super proud to present three of Singapore’s leading classical musicians Alan Choo (baroque violin), Yang Shuxiang (violin) and Dr. Cherie Khor (piano) in an all-violin programme that will showcase the brilliance of the violin from the earliest of works on the modern violin's predecessor to romantic showpieces. Listen to works by Biber (probably not the one you have in mind!), Bach, Wieniawski and Shostakovich.  Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear two of Singapore’s most exciting violinists back to back, sharing what they are most passionate about and doing what they do best, in collaboration with a wonderful pianist, in an intimate and fun setting.  Of course, there will be pre-dinner Makan by Chef Matteo Pertoldi to complement the music, to round off the evening! The exact address will be sent to attendees 3 days before the event. Hope to see you there!!!The musiciansAlan Choo Violinist Alan Choo recently made his solo debut with Apollo's Fire Baroque Orchestra at the Tanglewood and Ravinia Music Festivals, and has just returned from concert tours as part of the group to Carnegie Hall and the Caramoor Music Festival in New York.
