Witness the Award Ceremony of the Sounds & Colours: Chopin in Singapore Photography competition which invited local photographers to interpret and place Chopin’s music, life and values in our culturally rich city. The winning images will be exhibited at the Visitor Centre at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Complete the evening with the main concert by avant-garde musicians DUO DUO, Katarzyna Borek and Karolina Pi?tkowska-Nowicka, who are joined by animation artist Maja Kuta to bring you a stunning visual and acoustical interpretation of Chopin’s music transcribed for piano and violin. This visual spectacle is a delight for young and old to enjoy the beauty of Singapore’s Botanic Gardens while being entertained by equally beautiful music.
