This event is over.
This event is over.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Pauline Lee will no longer be performing at Dream a Granted Sky. Jonathan Shin will be performing instead. We sincerely apologise for any disappointment and inconvenience caused.
Join Felix Cheong in celebrating his 25th anniversary as a published poet with the launch of his latest book, Dream a Granted Sky!
This book launch features composer Phoon Yu's interpretation of Felix's poetry as a musical dreamscape consisting of short lyrical arias and brief piano interludes. Both voice (Reuben Lai) and piano (Jonathan Shin) will contribute individually and together in realising Felix's vision musically.
There will be a book signing after the performance.
No tickets will be issued. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
