Experience the Singapore of yesteryear. Music, dance, food and drink - it's all got history.
Sat 24 March: 5pm onwards
Sun 25 March: 4pm onwards
Esplanade Park (where the "durian building" is located)
Catch a glimpse of history, feel the march of time, sense age-old energies, and savour the past in the present.
Held at one of Singapore's oldest public parks, enjoy a whimsical journey of music and dance performances with the National Arts Council; a true reflection of what people were listening to and enjoying in Singapore from the 20s till the 60s.
As the highlight of this free 2-day festival, enjoy performances by The Jeremy Monteiro Big Band, Apsaras Arts, Chinese Theatre Circle, Era Dance Theatre, Singapore Police Force Band, and Psalmideo Chorale.
Authentic to the location, savour the food and drink reminiscent of the old Satay Club and the era of street hawkers.
Crafts, collectibles and games the early eras in Singapore complete your step back into the past. Story-telling in Cantonese, Malay and English unravel the tales of years past while you soak in the atmosphere of decades past.
There are stories to be told, and you're going to hear stories. Traditional Cantonese, Malay and English story-telling sessions at Play it Back! Bring your kids; they’ll want to hear this.
Hi Audrey & Play It Back team,24 & 25 March 12
ReplyDeleteThank you for a wonderful time for all of us oldies the last two nights at the esplanade.
We loved the BIG BAND music of the 40ies & 50ies and really enjoyed Jeremy Monteiro & his band.
The Philipino choral group PsalmiDeo Chorale was outstanding in choral harmony & presentation of old hymns & songs.
Thank you again, Audrey
Allan Chin & wife Yim
Please put up another great show next year 2013
