Crystal Goh

Having lost her voice to a rare neurological condition when she was 25, Crystal Goh turned to songwriting and discovered a deep reservoir of strength she never knew she possessed.

In this powerful and moving performance, the singer-songwriter bared her soul through a series of original songs and soundscapes inspired by her journey of healing. By immersing herself in the experiences of those who had also suffered loss–be it their freedom, memories or loved ones, she found traces of her voice in theirs. Today, she continues to use her stories and performances to spread a message of hope.

Performed and filmed live at Esplanade Concourse on 19 March 2020, this event was presented under Foreword, a free-for-all programme where words–spoken, narrated or musically interpreted–take centre stage.

The show must go on and for Offstage, it goes on...line. Specially culled from Esplanade's archives, this series of performances by leading acts in Singapore and Asia was first released in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, with the aim to nourish souls and sate audience's appetites for the arts during trying times.
