Hrdaya – Heartstrings

There are few defining moments that stand out in the timeline of modern Singapore, which have shaped our collective destiny. We go back to where it all began in 1819; to that poignant moment where Sir Stamford Raffles ("Raffles") discovered modern Singapore. He set his sights on the quiet, humble island, saw its strategic geographic location, and envisioned a grandiose and bustling trade hub. One man’s vision, a momentous moment.

Underlined by a collection of live music scores, Hrdaya – Heartstrings is an attempt to capture the emotions and thoughts of Sir Stamford Raffles and draw parallels to present-day Singapore and its people.
