Classical Music in the Heart of Singapore
Magic Hour brings classical music beyond the traditional concert hall and into an informal outdoor setting. Visitors can simply arrive at The Lawn and settle in for the performance without purchasing a concert ticket or making a hotel reservation.
The collaboration also offers newcomers a relaxed introduction to the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, while regular concertgoers can experience its musicians within a very different environment.
As the event takes place outdoors and seating arrangements have not been specified, visitors may wish to arrive early for a comfortable viewing spot. Pets are not permitted on The Lawn.
