Red Dot August 2020: Poems of Local Landmarks

  • Esplanade 1 Esplanade Drive Singapore, 038981 Singapore (map)

What are some Singapore landmarks that have been eternalised in our literature? Singapore veteran voice-over artist Lee Yong Tick will recite poems that depict the rich history and culture of familiar places that we know of, with music accompaniment from Rachma Lim on piano.

Lee Yong Tick was the former deputy programme director and music director of Radio Singapore International (Chinese section). He started his career as a voice-over artist at the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation in the 1980s and was involved in the establishment of Radio Singapore International (RSI) in 1994. Lee is currently a freelance voice artist and the leader of Char Yong (Dabu) Association’s Hakka Melody Group, which actively promotes Hakka culture and traditions.

Rachma Lim is a pianist-composer who has been active in the Singapore jazz scene since 2009. She has released an EP Her Nocturnal Chapters, which includes original jazz compositions.
