In collaboration with Music and Makan, The Culture Story hosted the first of its kind – a unique art and music experiential event “What Lies Beyond?” last Saturday, 2nd December 2017.
The evening featured special performances from brilliant Singaporean classical musicians Ng Jingyun (Voice), Laura Peh (Harp), Mervin Wong (Sonic Alchemist), in a diverse artistic offering comprising classical and contemporary classical/electronic music, including a brand new musical improvisation, inspired by works on display in the gallery as part of the “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” exhibition. Guests enjoyed an hour of music and art, followed by mingling over wine and desserts. It was a riveting night of music, art and food!
This event is kindly supported by The Royal Oak Cellar.

About Music and Makan
Music and Makan curates memorable live classical music performances in intimate spaces such as living rooms with a focus on innovative approaches to audience engagement; while creating opportunities to build community around Makan, every Singaporean’s favourite pastime. Music and Makan is founded by Ms Beverly Hiong, with the aim to make classical music more approachable through food and friends, while meeting the need for additional performance opportunities for Singaporean classical musicians to be heard and understood. After graduating with first class honours from the London School of Economics with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Beverly went on to pursue her passion for classical music, pursuing additional studies in cello performance at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, National University of Singapore, and as a Sistema Fellow at the New England Conservatory (Boston, United States).
