If music be the food of love...


... play on. I didn't realise that the annual Singapore Arts Festival was back again. Well, i take that back, actually i think in the back of my mind, i had some vague inkling that it was back. Usually, i find most of the events too highbrow for me and after a few years of thinking i should go see something, i pretty much don't bother anymore. What i really do like though, is that in the later years of the festival, they have been trying to promote art by bringing it to the masses by organising free events in public places. Tonight, while out with a friend, we were unexpectedly treated to "art on the move" by two young violinists, alan choo and cao qi, i think. We were going to dinner when we decided to postpone dining to get a dose of culture and it was a very good decision. Both my friend and i enjoy classical music and we both like the violin. The violinists also sounded good to our layman ears and as singaporeans, we appreciated the fact that it was free. :-) maybe next time instead of two violinists, we'll get a full orchestra. :-)
