TUNGGU SEKEJAP: THE P. RAMLEE SUITE

15 – 31 May 2025

Wild Rice @ Funan

Julian Wong, one of Singapore’s most outstanding music arrangers and directors, has always been passionate about the lyrical music of P. Ramlee, who was a giant in the world of Malay film and music in the 1950s and 60s.

In this heartfelt and stirring tribute to P. Ramlee’s music, Wong has re-composed familiar melodies – including Azizah, Getaran Jiwa and Tunggu Sekejap – into three movements. They will be performed by re: mix, a 30-member chamber orchestra, under the direction of maestro Foo Say Ming.

During the concert, Wong will share the process and inspirations behind his re-composition. Audiences will discover how P. Ramlee’s music is not only evergreen, but also surprisingly contemporary.

Reuniting the same creative team that memorably brought Don’t Call Him Mr. Mari Kita to life on stage, Tunggu Sekejap: The P. Ramlee Suite will be directed by Ivan Heng. Interspersed with iconic film clips and key biographical trivia, this concert celebrating P. Ramlee’s musical legacy promises to both illuminate and enchant.

Duration: approximately 1 hour 15 minutes (with no intermission)
Recommended for patrons aged 7 and above
