While this year marks 55 years of Singapore’s independence, it also correlates with 55 years of diplomatic relations with Australia. To commemorate this special milestone, the Singapore and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras are coming together for a virtual side-by-side performance on August 7.
Some of the songs in their heartwarming original medley will be familiar to you, including Singapore classics such as Home, Chan Mali Chan and We Are Singapore. Otherwise, get acquainted with Australian tunes such as I Am Australian, Waltzing Matilda and Click Go the Shears. The performance is easily accessible on Singapore and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s official Facebook and YouTube pages respectively.
