Excerpts from Director's Speech during the Opening Ceremony on 3rd Dec 2008:

" ...the highlight of this Conference will be a Gala Concert where participants will have the opportunity to showcase their talents. Through this Conference, we hope to further develop Singapore as an internationally recongnized global centre for the arts. Beyond doubt, the Singapore International String Conference 2008 will certainly be a rewarding musical experience."
