The Singapore Chamber Music Festival 2024 ends off with a gala concert of chamber music, showcasing the best and brightest of the SCMF Academy; past SCMF Chamber Academy participants who have gone on to become chamber musicians, teachers and pedagogues; and a coming together of the Artists and Coaches in a wonderful celebration of friendships and music-making.
The Dvořák piano duets in this concert also pay tribute to the late Dennis Lee, one of the finest and pioneer proponents of chamber musicians in Singapore, most fondly remembered for piano duets with his wife Toh Chee Hung.
