Make a donation to attend SG50

Tickets for the Sing50 concert have sold out, but the public can still get them by making a donation at the Mapletree Sing50 Charity Ticket Drive, organised by presenting sponsor Mapletree Investments.

Starting from tomorrow, tickets for the Aug 7 mega-concert will be available every weekend until the end of the month at the charity drive held at VivoCity shopping mall. A minimum donation of $20 is required per ticket and each person is limited to 10 tickets.

All proceeds will go towards The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund and The Business Times Budding Artists Fund, both of which support children and youth from underprivileged backgrounds.

In the lead-up to the concert, a series of pop-up concerts will be held at VivoCity and Resorts World Sentosa. Open to the public, they will provide a sneak preview of the Sing50 concert and feature performances by ChildAid alumni such as Amni Musfirah, who will sing some of Singapore's greatest hits, which have been decided through a public poll.

The pop-up concerts will be held this weekend and next weekend at VivoCity from 3 to 3.45pm, and at Resorts World Sentosa on June 20 and 27 from 4 to 4.45pm.

Mrs Seah-Khoo Ee Boon, senior vice-president of human resources and communications at Resorts World Sentosa, says: "Besides driving greater anticipation for the Sing50 concert, this series of pop-up concerts provide a platform for young and talented artists to perform."

Aside from the tickets which are sold out and those available at the charity drive, concert organisers have set aside tickets for schools and community groups, among others.

The Sing50 concert on Aug 7 will feature home-grown artists performing songs from many languages, as well as music genres over the past five decades. It is jointly organised by The Straits Times and The Business Times to celebrate Singapore's golden jubilee.

To be held at the National Stadium, the star-studded line-up includes established and emerging artists such as Stefanie Sun, JJ Lin, Tracy Huang, Dick Lee, Jeremy Monteiro, Rahimah Rahim, Mohamed Raffee, Reuby, Dru Chen and Ling Kai.

Mapletree Investments, Resorts World Sentosa and Zurich Insurance are the main sponsors of the Sing50 concert. The show is produced by The Rice Company and supported by Steinway Gallery Singapore.
