Composer, arranger, and 2023 Young Artist Award recipient Julian Wong    talks to Khim Oei about Tunggu Sekejap: The P. Ramlee Suite; a powerful new work where music, theatre, and cinema come together to honour one of the region’s most iconic artists.

Julian shares the inspiration behind how he re-composed beloved songs like Azizah and Getaran Jiwa for chamber orchestra, under the baton of Maestro Foo Say Ming, the challenge of selecting just a few from P. Ramlee’s vast catalogue, and why these melodies still feel so alive today.

We also trace Julian’s own creative journey and his mission to tell meaningful Singapore stories through music.

Tunggu Sekejap runs from 15 May to 31 May 2025 at The Ngee Ann Kongsi Theatre @ Wild Rice, Funan.
