at Esplanade Xchange | June 28, 2025
On 28 June 2025, the spotlight belonged to a new generation of musicians. The Singapore–China Gala Symphony Public Showcase brought together budding talents aged 9 to 28 for a vibrant celebration of music, mentorship, and cross-cultural connection. The atmosphere was electric with anticipation and pride as young pianists and violinists performed live — many for the very first time. With guidance from seasoned mentors and support from their families and community, these performers stepped confidently onto the stage, proving that music is a powerful bridge between generations and nations.
Organised by Willway Cultural Initiatives and Dong Lee Investment Pte Ltd, in collaboration with the Foundation of Rotary Clubs Singapore and with support from the National Arts Council (Singapore), this showcase is a prelude to the landmark Singapore–China Gala Symphony Concert taking place this October.
