The Esplanade Concert Hall is set to come alive with jazz, rhythm, and laughter this Children’s Day, as it presents “Jazz for Kids: Play with Humpty!” on Friday, October 6, 2023, at 4 pm. This delightful event is a must-attend for families and children, offering a unique musical experience that blends the magic of jazz with the timeless charm of nursery rhymes.
The Humpty Dumpty Extravaganza
Headlining this enchanting performance is none other than the international nursery rhyme superstar, Humpty Dumpty himself, accompanied by his stellar ensemble of Singaporean feline musicians, affectionately known as the “A-Team.” With their signature coolness, they promise to whisk young and old alike into a world of musical delight.
The repertoire for this spectacular show is packed with familiar tunes, including classics like “Wheels on the Bus” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider.” Audiences can look forward to clapping, dancing, and singing along as they discover the fascinating world of jazz music through the whimsical lens of Humpty and his talented friends.
The Creative Genius Behind the Magic
The mastermind behind this musical journey is none other than Dawn Wong, a renowned Singaporean vocalist, songwriter, and creative producer. As a Jazz Association (Singapore) scholar and a devoted mother of two, Dawn has a deep appreciation for the power of music in shaping young minds. Her commitment to introducing jazz to children has led her to craft engaging and educational Jazz for Kids programs.
One of her notable achievements in this realm is the release of “Marco Lopo” in 2016, a collection of original tunes seamlessly weaving English and Mandarin together. Dawn’s innovative approach to jazz and her dedication to nurturing young musical talents make her the perfect guide for this jazz-infused Children’s Day celebration.
A Surprising Twist with PIP
In a surprising twist, the lovable PIP will make a special appearance at the concert, making it an event to remember. The audience is invited to join in a jazzy rendition of the birthday song and share in the joy of surprising PIP with a birthday cake.
The best part? Admission to this unforgettable experience is free, but registration is required. This performance is exclusive for E&Me PIP’s Club members, ensuring an intimate and cherished gathering of families.
As we approach this year’s Children’s Day, don’t miss out on the opportunity to introduce your little ones to the wonderful world of jazz with Humpty Dumpty and friends. It’s an event that promises to leave both children and adults with lasting smiles and cherished memories.
So, mark your calendars and join the Esplanade Concert Hall on October 6, 2023, for an afternoon of musical magic, jazz, and joy. Jazz hands at the ready!
