Fritz Quartet at Grand Hyatt Singapore

Tuesday 28th August
PricewaterhouseCoopers Dinner

The Fritz Quartet was invited to perform for PricewaterhouseCoopers' dinner, held at Grand Hyatt Singapore, Sir Stamford Room. We had performed for PricewaterhouseCoopers previously and we were honored to be invited again. The dinner was hosted by Mr Gautam Banerjee (PwC Singapore Executive Chairman) and the Guest of Honor was Mrs Lim Hwee Hua (Minister Of State for Finance and Transport).

We started off the evening with Grieg's "Morning" from Peer Gynt Suite as the guests mingled at the cocktail area. Half an hour flew by, and the guests streamed into the main ballroom, signalling the start of dinner.

While speeches were being presented, we lounged at the sofas outside the ballroom, waiting to go on stage.

While the first course was served, we proceeded on stage. Special thanks to the Grand Hyatt Hotel staff, who did a marvellous job of setting up the mics for us. Meanwhile, the projector in the room was showing photographs taken earlier in the cocktail session. It was quite surreal seeing our faces beamed to the whole room!

We ended off the night with a rendition of Bengawan Solo, which was well received by the guests.

Special thanks to Yvonne and Cami from PricewaterhouseCoopers, as well as staff from Grand Hyatt.
