Venue: Singapore Botanic Gardens,
Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage
Free Admission!

Featuring two international acts in

different musical genres, the grounds of the

Singapore Botanic Gardens will vibrate

to the sounds of a unique combination of folk

funk jazz frenzy in an R&B reggae kind of way

with Australia’s “Totally Gourdgeous”

who will make its debut in Singapore

with its toe-tapping and grooving music

played with a mix of conventional instruments

and self-made vegetable gourds.

Imagine Joni Mitchell and James Brown

getting down in Bob Marley's pumpkin

patch via the Muppets. They perform with an

infectious eclectic beauty in the gourdiest

of costumes.

And jazzing up to the occasion at the

park grounds is Mexico’s top contemporary

jazz trio, “SACBE”. Comprising three brothers,

SACBE mixes all kinds of music influences

that span African, Asian, Brazilian and

Mexican music as well as rock and jazz.

A veteran of nine CDs and various international

jazz festivals including the Houston International Jazz Festival

in the US, SACBE celebrates its thirty-third anniversary

with its debut concert in Singapore.

Joining them for a couple of songs will be

Singapore’s own Anne Weerapass

whose album “Out Of Nowhere” was recorded

in Los Angeles in USA last year.

Anne has worked with top international

stars such as Ronan Keating and Regine Valesquez

and had also performed to the President of Singapore,

Mr SR Nathan who remarked,

“…one performance that the 500 strong

audiences are unlikely to forget”.

This family concert-in-the-park will leave

you in awe as you toe-tap, sway, jig and shake to

the music of these international performers.
This programme also includes fringe activities

and the very popular online photography competition.

Bring a camera, bring a chair, bring a mat,

bring a hat, bring your shades and bring your

family for a jolly good time.

This programme will certainly take your breath away!
