THE Singapore International Festival of Music (SIFOM) is returning for its second edition this year under a new theme – Myths and Legends.
The festival, which debuted last year to give rising young musicians in Singapore a platform, runs from October 13-30 this year at various concert venues and public spaces around the city-state, featuring more than 20 free and ticketed performances and workshops
This year’s ensemble of performances include showings by opera stars from the Musical Olympus Foundation (Moscow) and performing artists and composers from Europe, Asia, Russia and Ukraine, among many others.
The Chamber Orchestra of Europe (reportedly the world’s best orchestra by critics), Norway’s Ensemble 1B1, local Chinese music group Ding Yi Music Company and Ikan Girl by the Bhumi Collective will also be making appearances.
SIFOM was first conceived and curated by internationally-renowned conductor and grammy-nominee, Darrell Ang, who is also the artistic director of SIFOM.
