Singapore’s longest standing community chorus – The International Festival Chorus (IFC) Singapore and Sri Lanka’s acclaimed vocal duo, The De Lanerolle Brothers (DLB), have announced a long-term musical collaboration that will enhance artistic and cultural exchange between Singapore and Sri Lanka. Under the theme “Music Beyond Borders,” this partnership brings together two highly respected musical institutions with a shared commitment to artistic excellence, innovation, and community engagement. Combining IFC Singapore’s choral excellence with the De Lanerolle Brothers’ renowned vocal artistry, this collaboration will deliver unique cross-cultural musical experiences while strengthening artistic and cultural connections between Singapore and Sri Lanka. The first event under this partnership will be IFC Singapore’s Winter Season concert in Singapore this December, featuring The De Lanerolle Brothers as guest artists. “This partnership represents more than a collaboration between performers—it is a celebration of friendship, creativity, and cultural exchange,” said representatives from the organizations. “Together, we hope to create memorable musical experiences that resonate with audiences and demonstrate the power of music to bring communities together.” Audiences in both countries can look forward to a range of standout musical performances that highlights the strengths of both groups while exploring new artistic possibilities.
