Event Details

Hear the pianos resonating loud and clear! Four fine pianos and YST faculty and alumni pianists take the stage alongside the YST Orchestral Institute, in a dazzling display of piano artistry and passion.

In this concert, we express our appreciation to Mr Tan Kah Tee, a longtime benefactor of YST who has given to the Conservatory in many ways – from instrument donations to generous support for our artistic and educational mission. We are deeply grateful for his new gift of a Fazioli F278 Concert Grand for YST’s recent 20th anniversary, which joins his earlier gifts of two Bösendorfer pianos (Imperial Model 290 and Johann Strauss).

Inspired by his love for music, we bring together four of the Conservatory’s concert pianos in full force – the Fazioli and Bösendorfer kindly gifted by Mr Tan, and two Steinway D pianos. To bring the celebration to life, YST faculty and alumni pianists, joined by the YST Orchestral Institute and guest musicians, showcase the piano in diverse settings – as well as the rich musical talent nurtured through philanthropy to the Conservatory.
