Thank you for spending and sharing this afternoon with strIVngs.

This afternoon, strIVngs will present to you a thematic programme featuring various pieces that will undoubtedly tug at your heartstrings.

As with every season, I feel incredibly blessed and fortunate to work with members who are so passionate about learning and playing music. Since our last concert in December, we have achieved so much together.

strIVngs has had the privilege of sharing our music with various organizations, including AWWA, St Luke, Kwong Wai Shiu, and Dover Park Hospice, bringing joy and comfort to their residents through our performances.

Earlier this year, we also launched our very first chamber series, where members formed their own chamber groups and performed. This was followed by the third installment of our initiate program, further nurturing our new members and helping them grow in their musical journey.

And now, it is my great pleasure to present to you, HeartstrIVngs!

I hope you have a wonderful afternoon and enjoy the music as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.

Warm regards,

Dwayne Leow Music Director from
