So the Singapore Symphony Orchestra's long-awaited BBC Proms debut finally took place, on Tuesday 2 September 2014 at the Royal Albert Hall. The national orchestra was proud to fly the national colours at the world's greatest music festival leading up to SG50 next year, and did so with such brilliance and panache that it is hard to deny that this has been the orchestra's greatest moment in its short 35 year history.
Here are some photos, post-concert at RAH's Verdi Restaurant, hosted by SSO Chairman Mr Goh Yew Lin.
