Synopsis
Synopsis

The Musical City Walking Tour is a 120-minute walking tour inspired by the audio-visual-illustration book, The Musical City. Follow in the footsteps of Pei, the book's protagonist, as she ventures through the historic heart of Singapore, exploring iconic buildings brimming with cultural significance. Uncover the rich history and intricate architectural details of each site and learn about the diverse heritage interwoven into the city's tapestry. Along the way, participants will get to listen to short musical tracks composed to capture the essence of each location, with instruments and musical elements that reflect the cultural roots of the buildings. The Musical City Walking Tour is a unique opportunity to experience Singapore's rich history and architecture through music.
