Back by popular demand, the “Arts Chat with Ling Kiong” series returns for the new Season 25/26—ready to spark imagination and ignite conversations through music and culture.
In 2025, Singapore celebrates a historic double milestone: the nation’s 60th birthday and the 60th anniversary of the iconic Singapore Conference Hall, home to the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO). Marking this momentous occasion, the opening gala concert Metamorphosis will spotlight a powerful cross-cultural performance featuring two exceptional drummers.
Before the concert night, delve into a thought-provoking and multicultural dialogue led by the charismatic SCO Principal Conductor Quek Ling Kiong, joined by celebrated tabla maestro Nawaz Mirajkar and dynamic percussionist Riduan Zalani.
Together, let’s honour six decades of Singapore’s journey—through rhythm, reflection, and resonance. Join us, and be part of the celebration!
“Arts Chat with Ling Kiong” is organised by Singapore Chinese Orchestra and the National Library Board.
Talk will be conducted in English.
