Singaporean virtuoso violinist Siow Lee Chin's autobiography From Clementi To Carnegie was officially launched today (Friday, 31 July 2015) at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
It was already on sale last week at the Singapore National Youth Orchestra / Singapore Youth Chinese Orchestra concert at Esplanade Concert Hall last week, where she had given a concerto performance. It was also seen on the shelves of Books Kinokuniya over the weekend. This is an inspirational book of sorts, so buy it to find out how one becomes a Singaporean cultural icon!
