Synopsis

The performance begins with Albert Tay’s Celebration of Life, an uplifting composition that radiates joy and vitality. This is followed by Ho Chee Kong’s Evening Lights, a delicate and reflective piece evoking the quiet beauty of twilight.

 

The program also includes a selection of expressive harp solos and duets, showcasing the versatility and grace of the instrument. Rave Harpers Harp Ensemble will also perform an original harp composition, Nanyang Sketches by acclaimed harpist Katryna Tan, which draws inspiration from the vibrant cultural tapestry of Southeast Asia.
