RondoFest 2024 Closing Gala

Join us for a grand evening of music that is the Closing Gala, a crowning moment that marks the culmination of RondoFest. Now in its fifth year, the 2024 edition is organised in partnership with the Young Choral Academy.

Get ready to be floored by the resplendent finale that will not only feature our handpicked festival orchestra, but it is also set to star a choir who will be sharing the stage to deliver a dazzling performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 "Choral" under the leadership of Tengku Irfan and Susanna Saw. Works from Brahms, Bizet, Andriessen and more, along with RondoFest commissioned compositions and choral pieces, are part of our versatile programme.
