Concert review of SIFOM Gala Concert 2016
Tanglewood students performed at the SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF MUSIC GALA-CONCERT held at the ARTS House last 29 December 2016.
A concert review was published in The Straits Times on 31 December 2016 with the title “Local-born pianist thrills in comeback“.
“On the same platform this evening were three younger Singaporean musicians. 16-year-old violinist Amanda Chia gave a confident reading of Charles de Beriot’s Violin Concerto No.9 accompanied by pianist Iryna Vokhmianina. Sisters Claris and Crystal Hwang put the polish on a Haydn sonata movement and Debussy’s First Arabesque respectively. Given time and hard work, they might one day emulate the achievements of Koh Poh-Lin themselves.”
