Concert to be Resorts World’s debut show

THERE’S no business like show business, as the saying goes, which makes it apt that this year’s ChildAid, on Dec 19-21, will be the first performance staged at Resorts World at Sentosa.

Besides hosting the event at its theatre Festive Grand, Resorts World is also supplying production talent. Entertainment vice-president Andrea Teo is part of the ChildAid production team, together with renowned musician and Cultural Medallion recipient Iskandar Ismail and a member of her entertainment team, Jason Ramsburg.

Iskandar has penned an original composition which will be performed by the children. More than 250 performers will take part in this year’s concert, which will include a 70-strong orchestra and 50 recorder players.

Fifteen-year-old singer Amni Musfirah, from the School of the Arts, and eight-year-old drummer Zidann Zalizann, from Greenridge Primary School, are among those set to return this year after wowing the crowd last year.
