Performing for Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital Charity Concert 2012

Despite being a charitable organization that is heavily dependent on public support and donations, Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital (KWSH) remains focused on providing quality healthcare. Hence, KWSH organizes annual charity concert hoping to do more for the needy.

With Mr. Iskandar Ismail roped in this year’s show, you know it is going to be great. On top of that, the renowned Music Director also highly recommended S2S artiste Tay Kewei to be involved in this big-scale production.

Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, Mr Lawrence Wong was at the Singapore Conference Hall as Guest-of-Honour during the show too. The concert presents a fusion of overseas and local singers such as Ding Fan, Amni Musfirah, Bu Chang Weng, Cheryl Wee and many more, performing from Chinese classics to upbeat Chinese songs and Cantonese operas.

The audience was mesmerized by her sweet vocals and warm smiles when Kewei did a solo performance. Isn’t She Lovely? by Stevie Wonder was madly covered by well-known artistes such as jazz fusion artist, Lee Ritenour, saxophonist Najee, featured in television series Glee and many more. Kewei wanted to convey the message that one who gives is lovely, one who gives is wonderful, just as what the lyrics suggests.

Before the finale, together with three other singers, Kewei did a Shanghai medle, singing along to the song Night Shanghai, or better known as Ye Shanghai – performed by old Shanghai’s nightingale Zhou Xuan since first composed in 1942. They dispersed and Kewei returned to the stage later and perform one of the Chinese classic oldies何日君再来 (he ri jun zai lai) which received a hall-full of applause.

The concert ended on a good note with all the performers involved in the singalong session Forever Friends, theme song for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, sung by Sun Nan and Coco Lee previously. A desirable amount of funds were also raised during the course of the concert.

Thank you for supporting Kewei in this event too and just in case you were unable to get hold of the tickets (it’s a sold-out concert show!), do view more event photos here. Hope to see you at the next event!
