Hi Huneybees,
Over 1200 Singaporeans attended the inaugural Shine Singapore Charity Concert held at Esplanade Concert Hall on 6th August 2013. The Presenting Charity Sponsor was CapitaLand Hope Foundation and it is the brainchild of local singer and songwriter, Lorraine Tan.
The National Flag was given out at the concert...
The concert is part of the "My Singapore" project that was started in 2011 with the aim of using music to bring people together for a charity cause. Every year, the project hopes to help families and children from the lower-income bracket to fulfill their basic needs.
The 1.5-hour concert saw Lorraine, together with her 15-piece band, serenading the audience with a total of more than 15 songs, which included the theme song of this year's project, Shine Singapore.
