Vocalise was back at the Istana to perform for the state banquet hosted by President Halimah Yacob for Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani and his delegation.

This time, we were proud to have our flute + keyboard duo perform for our distinguished guests!

Our duo performed a selection of light jazz pieces including Autumn Leaves and a lovely spruced up rendition of our homegrown favourite, Home.

Singapore and Qatar have a shared outlook and common interests. Both countries have business-friendly economies and advocate for free trade. The relationship between the two countries dates all the way back to 1984, when diplomatic ties were first established.

Singapore has maintained a high level of bilateral relations with Qatar. There are about 500 Singaporeans living in Qatar while many Qataris visit Singapore as tourists.

We could not be more honoured to be a part of this significant occasion!
