Musicians from the Singapore Symphony Orchestra have been
entertaining the bustling lunch crowd at various MRT stations all
over Singapore, since March 29.
Four of them have been performing at the Raffles Xchange at Raffles
Place MRT station for the past two days.
And for almost an hour, "The Fabulous Four" string quartet charmed
their audience with a wide selection of well-loved classics.
The lunchtime concerts are held in conjunction with the launch of
the SSO train, which will last till mid-May.
The effort is sponsored by SMRT as part of its Arts for the
Community Programme.
This is not the first time SMRT is supporting the arts.
Last December, SSO musicians performed at Orchard MRT station at
the launch of the SMRT Silver Tribute Fund which raises funds for
elderly homes.
In another effort to raise money for this same fund, SMRT will be
donating proceeds from a special SSO opera gala performance in July
this year.
