A young and charismatic music group SMASH from Hong Kong made its debut in Singapore on August 25. Presented by the HKETO in Singapore and co-organised by Hong Kong’s Music Lab and Singapore's Global Cultural Alliance, SMASH – comprising award-winning pianist Ka Jeng Wong, harmonica world-champion CY Leo and renowned saxophonist Timothy Sun, staged a concert at the Victoria Theatre, wooing more than 300 audience with music from the movies, modern classics and traditional Cantonese tunes.

SMASH was famous for breaking down barriers between genres across generations. They fully demonstrated their capability of fusing music from different traditions into a new twist. In their first appearance in Singapore, the trio managed to captivate the audience and won big rounds of applause even after the encores. During the Meet-and-Greet session, the young musicians were showered with thumbs up and words of appreciation.

HKETO invited friends and interlocutors from the diplomatic, government, arts and culture sectors, as well the local Hong Kong community, to enjoy an evening of great music and passionate performance.
