We remember with sadness but fondness the life of Mr LEONG YOON PIN (1931-2011), the "Father of Singaporean Composers and Music". He left this world yesterday at the age of 79, with a great legacy of composition, education, performance and musical activism behind him. Below is the Straits Times article by Akshita Nanda about Singaporean's pioneering composer and musical giant.
(Please click on image to enlarge) An online tribute to Mr Leong by Singapore's musical community will appear later on these pages, but please feel free to express your mind and thoughts on how his personality and music has touched your lives in the comments column.
