Now that the Chinese New Year fever is subsiding, there’s a chance you might feel a little empty (and relieved) this week. Well, what’s hip and happening in Singapore will definitely take care of your post-festivity blues – here’s our pick of the top 5:
Lindsey Stirling – Shatter Me Tour
Trained as a classical violinist, Lindsey Stirling has become one of the latest sensations in the music industry with her intoxicating combination of electronic dub step, Celtic folk music, and modern classical music. Ingeniously talented and ever so graceful, get ready to rave with this California native, who was dubbed the ‘hip hop violinist’ when she performed on America’s Got Talent.
Lindsey Stirling is performing live on Tuesday, 3 March at 8pm at the Grand Theatre, MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands.
