They’re all part of Lieder, Love and Laughter, a new show by The Poetics Collective featuring members of the KL Madrigal Singers, that’s set to delight audiences with a playful blend of classical favourites and light-hearted gems. If you’ve ever been curious about classical music but didn’t know where to start - this might just be the perfect entry point.
