Beautiful Sunday was launched by Esplanade in 2003 at the height of the SARS crisis to encourage Singaporeans to return to arts venues for live performances. Held once a month on a Sunday, it offers the opportunity for all to enjoy a series of free community concerts in the Esplanade Concert Hall. Since its introduction, the programme has drawn almost 20,000 attendees every year. For the first time in almost two decades, Beautiful Sunday arrives in a new online edition featuring homegrown artists and ensembles performing their own originals or evergreen favourites. 

Bossa Celli is a Singapore cello quartet made up of Ryan Sim, Shernise Khor, Trinh Ha Linh and James Ng. Established in 2016, the homegrown group has made it its objective to pursue new possibilities for the cello while introducing the instrument to broader, more diverse audiences. Pushing the boundaries of chamber music for the cello, the group performs a wide repertoire ranging from bossa nova to 17th-century Baroque tunes. 

A Flutey Affair is a Singapore flute quartet made up of Sin Jin How, Chan Tung Hoe, Lee Wen Xiang and Tan Kian Joo. Formed in 2010 and led by Sin, it has delighted audiences with music ranging from classical pieces to anime soundtracks as it continues to champion Singapore music and musicians. The group has performed at venues such as The Arts House, the Istana, Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay and Gardens by the Bay.
