WHY ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST GIFTED VIOLINISTS STAYS IN TUNE WITH SINGAPOR
Maybe it's the harmony that reverberates throughout the island? Maybe it's Singapore's crescendo of noteworthy achievements? Or maybe it's the calm concerto of familiarity? Only this acclaimed violinist knows. Meet Siow Lee-Chin. Fond daughter of Singapore, famed musical talent of the world (gold medal winner at the 1994 Henryk Szeryng International Violin Competition). Having begun her 'world tour' at the tender age of eleven (she was a soloist with the Singapore National Schools Orchestra that toured the Philippines), Lee-Chin's prodigious talent has kept her away from her motherland for nearly two decades. "I've been away from home for close to 20 years. I have lived in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and now in Cleveland. In America, I'm still a foreigner but when I come home, I'm a Singaporean. This is where home is and where I feel I belong." "I've been very fortunate in my career. You know, to have played

in 20 countries with orchestras like the Royal Philharmonic (UK) and the Houston Symphony; to have my live performances on air with CBS Good Morning America. And now, to have opportunities to impart my musical knowledge and lecture in American universities. But I've never forgotten that it was in Singapore that my talent was spotted and given a headstart." "That's why I'd love to set up base in Singapore. To help spot and train budding young talent. Because I believe, with the growing emphasis on the Arts, more of us can play on the world stage." Artists like Siow Lee-Chin expect an environment that appreciates their talents and yet pushes their boundaries. We'd like to think that Singapore is up to that challenge.
