Founded in 2008 by Singaporean music director, composer and teacher Syed Ahmad, local percussion group Bloco Singapura is Singapore’s first and only samba school. Performing Brazilian percussive styles, Bloco Singapura infuses samba rhythms with local flavours by having the rhythms ‘transferred to new instruments’ used by the band. Its vigorous drumming and energising performances have delighted audiences in overseas cities like Dili, Mumbai and Bali. 

Organised by the School of Contemporary Music, the Lunchtime Concert Series aims to provide a platform for leading creative musical figures from Singapore and overseas. With a focus on showcasing original work, the eclectic curation introduces both hidden and well-known talents to a broad cross section of music students and the general public. 

After closely monitoring the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) situation in Singapore, LASALLE has taken the decision to cancel this event. This is a precautionary measure to safeguard public health and safety. We appreciate your understanding and apologise for any disappointment caused.
