Kris Foundation has presented a series of salon concerts taking place at Kris Tan’s home in the East of Singapore. These concerts are inspired by those in 19th century Europe salon concerts - a small gathering of friends, centered around light piano music.
““These concerts allow us to have an opportunity to inspire the young, our students and people in the audience who come to appreciate art more, and how enjoyable and meaningful art is.”
