It was not actually a soiree but a lunch, in the company of Lianhe Zaobao music journalist and recent Yong Siew Toh Conservatory graduate in Music Leadership Zhang Heyang and his guests. These included young composer Lim Kang Ning, Vinna Er of the Kris Foundation, and a pair of fiddlers called Brett Yang and Eddy Chen.
They may be the YouTube sensation TwoSet Violin, but they are as regular as regular blokes go, exactly in real life as they are on video. The fact that our host Heyang was at one time the Concertmaster of the National University of Singapore Symphony Orchestra (NUSSO) helped. He served up a feast of penne arrabiata, fried beehoon, fish head curry, har cheong kai, hae chor, washed down by some grog, bubble tea, and a tiramisu to end it all.

 |
| Laughing at TwoZhang's attempt at Braga's Angel's Serenade. After which we attempted the local premiere of Lim Kang Ning's Colour Bar, which was no joke. |

| A wefie before hitting the road! |
