Unique programming with a goal of uniting art lovers across multiple generations is on tap in Singapore in September as a part of the seventh annual Silver Arts festival.
A famous Singaporean singer who is now in her 70s will be one of the performers at this year’s festival. In her heyday, this singer sang many country western songs and was regularly compared to famous American counterparts. Just because she is now beyond retirement age hasn’t slowed her down, though. She says that her only difficulty is the added challenge that hitting high notes now has for her. She recently played a tribute show to another famous classic pop band at the Marina Bay Sands, and plans to perform with her son, the singer of an alternative rock band, as a part of this year’s festival.
Part of the motivation behind this festival is to give artists above a certain age an opportunity to perform again. In that vein, organizers are also hoping to attract older spectators to enjoy such performances. However, there is also the motivation of bringing together multiple generations to appreciate good music no matter what the age of the listener might be. One of the most anticipated performances is a musical performance that includes singers from three different generations. This particular event is symbolic, showing that people of all ages can come together to create art that is meaningful for all generations.
The Silver Arts festival will feature more than simply musical performances. On the docket are dance performances, theater presentations, viewing opportunities for classic movies, art exhibits from local artists of all ages, and much more. There will also be interactive workshops so that participants can engage with the arts, including creative activities, a songwriting session, and a doodling instructional session.
It’s never too late — or too early — to begin exploring the arts. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never really taken part in creative endeavors before — or if your only experience is something like doodling in the margins of the paper while taking notes during classes.
