Silver Arts Festival 2019
Title: 80s Non Stop Medley
Arranger: Ong Jiin Joo

Silver Arts advocates the meaningful possibilities seniors have in the arts. Organised by the National Arts Council since 2012, Silver Arts is an annual festival dedicated to celebrating seniors and creative ageing. The festival presents collaborations between artists, arts organisations and community partners to foster the arts into the lifestyles of seniors. From performances to workshops, seniors can showcase their creative talents through co-created content or learn a new skill, enhancing their overall well-being. The festival offers opportunities for seniors to share their stories that shape our collective memories, and forge stronger inter-generational understanding.

Reminisce and sing along to evergreen classics from the 1960s and 1970s, with live music performed by a full wind orchestra. This intergenerational concert will feature veteran local jazz vocalist, Robert Fernando, and a pair of seniors who are specially chosen from an audition!

Hosted by media personality Joe Augustin, The Philharmonic Youth Winds presented a repertoire of popular symphonic band music, specially arranged for seniors and their families to enjoy together.
