The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has been running its free series of lunchtime concerts at its Campus Centre since 2016. It hit a snag because of the Covid pandemic but has now returned with a purpose to enrich the academic lives of students and staff. Its latest concert on Wednesday (15 November 2023) welcomed students from the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music in chamber works, besides showcasing musically talented members of SUTD's own faculty.
Here are some photos of the performances and who played what. It made for an enjoyable post-lunch concert attended by a small and attentive audience of SUTD students and staff. This series looks to be a permament fixture as long as SUTD Advisor to the Office of the Provost Professor Lim Seh Chun, himself a fine flautist, has a say about it.
