Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall
Recitals from $28, fringe events from $20
For four days this July, the piano takes centre stage at the 32nd Singapore International Piano Festival – and this isn’t just one for the seasoned classical buffs. Held across the elegant Victoria Concert Hall and the intimate Play Den at The Arts House from July 2 to 5, the festival features everything from grand evening performances to fringe events designed to bring you closer to the music.
Returning with a fresh new vision under artistic director Albert Tiu, this year’s edition spotlights a new generation of boundary-pushing pianists who are as much composers and improvisers as they are virtuoso performers. The line-up brings together internationally celebrated names like Conrad Tao, Hyung-ki Joo (of the acclaimed duo Igudesman and Joo), Sean Chen and Jon Kimura Parker, alongside rising local talents Churen Li and Jonathan Shin.
You’ll be treated to dazzling recitals, playful musical experimentations and plenty of moments that prove piano music can be thrilling, emotional and unexpectedly fun. Whether you’re a lifelong piano lover or simply curious to catch live music that stirs something in you, this festival promises a memorable experience. Recitals start from $28, while fringe events start from $20. Festival packages and concessions are also available. Get your tickets here.
