MORE MUSICAL LOOKALIKES RELIVED! THE LOCAL EDITION

No concerts in town today. So there's time for more musical lookalikes. This dozen covers the musical scene in Singapore, as the people featured will mostly be people known to local concert-goers. There might be some international names, and that's good too!

Former Singapore Symphony
Resident Conductor Lim Yau
keeps his hair buoyant, like Kent Nagano.

Hotshot violinist Chan Yoong Han
has a twin in Chinese pianist Yutong Sun.
Violinist Lee Shi Mei
has the same sweet and winsome smile
as Japanese pianist Aimi Kobayashi.

Hotshot pianist Shaun Choo
looks like the young version of
Korean piano virtuoso Kun Woo Paik.

Local piano heartthrob Gabriel Hoe
and Taiwanese pianist Kai-Min Chang,
finalist in this year's
Leeds International Piano Competition.

Baritone William Lim should be careful
if he steps into Kuala Lumpur Int Airport,
where Kim Jong Nam was assassinated.

British-Indonesian pianist George Harliono,
whose Silver medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition
is just as rewarding as the Olympic Gold medal
of Joseph Schooling.

Chinese violinist He Ziyu
has the right moves as Hollywood actor
Dennis Dun of Big Trouble in Little China.

Hong Kong pianist Chiyan Wong
and Hong Kong icon Bruce Lee.

Japanese pianist Hayato Sumino (Cateen)
has the same consumptive look as Chopin.

Cateen's "daguerreotype".

Scottish pianist Dr Kenneth Hamilton
is an authority on Liszt as
Dr Anthony Fauci is on infectious diseases.

American pianist Steven Spooner
could pass off as German actor Christian Redl
who played General Jodl in Downfall.

Taiwanese violinist Benny Tseng Yu-Chien
and German football star Mesut Ozil.

The late lecturer-organist-
music critic-bus driver
Marc Rochester (Dr Marc) and
German conductor Kurt Sanderling.

An addition to the list:

All the music teacher aunties in Singapore
want to look like Martha Argerich.
