OUTREACH EVENTS
Alongside the action of the competition, join us for a range of events designed to engage our community of violin lovers and classical music enthusiasts!
SIVC outreach events are free of charge to attend and open to the public with registration (to be announced).
All events take place at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music.
OUTREACH DAY 1
Saturday, 10 December
10.00am – 4.00pm | YST Recital Studio, Level 1
Up Close with Rin Collection Fine Violins
Experience fine violins from the Rin Collection up close!
Owned by the late Mr Rin Kei Mei and Mrs Rin, the Rin Collection comprises some of the world’s most valuable violins (alongside other string instruments) from great makers such as Stradivari, Guarneri and Amati. One of the Rin Collection’s key missions is to help young musicians perfect their art using the best possible instruments – not least through loans to SIVC top performers as well as to students of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music!
Each session lasts 30 minutes and will be held in groups of 8-10 people.
Registration is required. Click here to register.
