The festival takes place from 15-19 April 2020 and is presented by Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music. \nTICKETING INFORMATION • Free admission • All event information is correct at time of print. • Out of respect for other concertgoers\, no children under 6 years of age will be allowed admission.
