SCMF Opening Concert – Resonance 《薪火相传·乡音长存》

Singapore Chinese Music Festival (SCMF) 2025 Opening Ceremony will be presented by Ding Yi Music Company, under the baton of Cultural Medallion recipient, SCMF President, and Ding Yi Emeritus Music Director Dr Tay Teow Kiat, alongside Resident Conductor Wong De Li, Dedric.

Showcasing the rich cultural roots and musical diversity of the Chinese heritage in Singapore, audiences will be treated to a rich tapestry of works by Ding Yi musicians, including guzheng musician Yvonne Tay and Visiting Artist Li Cangxiao on the erhu, as well as renowned federation members such as erhu soloist Ling Hock Siang, guzheng virtuoso Yin Qun, and dizi master Zhan Yongming. Three signature works conducted by Dr Tay are Yeo Puay Hian’s Passing the Light, the famous Dream of the Red Chamber; and Longing for Home, a poignant piece that captures the aching yearning for home, parents, and one’s roots.
