## Synopsis :

The 2026 President’s Young Performers Concert proudly presents three superlative young talents from Singapore: bassoonist Shi Jia Ao, soprano Natasha Da Costa and violinist Kaelyn Soh. Be wowed by their musical virtuosity in three soloist-showcases accompanied by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jason Lai – Swedish Romantic composer Franz Berwald’s lively concert piece for bassoon, the lush poetry of Ravel’s song cycle Shéhérazade (of The Arabian Nights fame) and the cinematic gleam of Korngold’s Violin Concerto.
