2. Tunggu Sekejap: The P. Ramlee Suite

Catch a lively concert that pays tribute to the lyrical music of composer P. Ramlee, who was a giant in the world of Malay film and music in the 1950s and 60s.

Julian Wong, one of Singapore's' most outstanding music arrangers and directors, has re-composed familiar melodies by P. Ramlee – including Azizah, Getaran Jiwa and Tunggu Sekejap – into three movements, which will be performed by re: mix, a 30-member chamber orchestra.

Interspersed with iconic film clips and key biographical trivia, this concert celebrating P. Ramlee's musical legacy promises to both illuminate and enchant as it spotlights how P. Ramlee's music is not only evergreen, but also surprisingly contemporary.
