It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to this annual Singapore Raffles International Music Festival.
I have seen the festival grow over the years and much of this is due to the enthusiasm and passion of all the participants whether performers, jury, or organizers.
As part of the jury I know I can look forward to hearing and enjoying the great range of talent in the region that will be taking part this year and I know that I’m always going to be in for a treat or special delight from a new younger performer or the return of a more established musician.
