Ever wonder how Ang Ku Kueh Girl, the spunky adventurer that we know today, found her confident voice? She used to speak in barely a whisper until one day, fearful of judgment, her voice faded away entirely!

Join Ang Ku Kueh Girl as she explores the enchanting world of Chinese music. Will the soulful erhu, the vibrant sheng or the deep double bass unlock her voice? Or perhaps, something else entirely awaits her. Don't miss this captivating concert about finding your own unique voice and the power of unity in a world that needs to hear you.
