This is not Singapore Tatler nor Prestige, so I don't approach total strangers at high society events to take their photos and post in their society pages. Instead, I take photos of people I know and those who sat in the same table or nearby. So here are some photos of people at the glitzy ritzy Ritz-Carlton, Millennia Singapore on Sunday evening (6 September 2026) to celebrate the Singapore Chinese Orchestra's 30th anniversary. See anybody you know?
Hint: they are mostly former board members of SCO, CEOs, composers, conductors and people from the National Arts Council, past and present.
