Singapore – Ring in the Year of the Tiger this 2022 on a positive note with Base Entertainment Asia’s 柳暗花明演唱会: You Must Believe in Spring – 董姿彦 Joanna Dong Lunar New Year Concert at Sands Theatre. Perfectly timed to be staged on 21 and 22 January, this is going to be the multi-talented artiste’s first-ever ticketed Lunar New Year concert to commemorate the Start of Spring with her fans in these times of great change.
A jazz artiste, an actress and host, Joanna became a household name after her famous 2017 appearance in the reality talent show “Sing! China”. She has since received various film, stage and television awards for her work including the Best Entertainment Hostess at the 2019 Asia Rainbow TV Awards.
Following Joanna’s sold-out, two-night concert in 2018 for the EP So Here I Am, 柳暗花明演唱会: You Must Believe in Spring – 董姿彦 Joanna Dong Lunar New Year Concert will be her first live concert since the pandemic and has been specially conceptualised to revisit the spirit of what it means to celebrate the coming of spring.
“Growing up in urban Singapore where it is summer all year round, I don’t think I fully appreciated Lunar New Year celebrations beyond the feasting and festivities, until the pandemic happened. This is the first in a long time that generations of Singaporeans have shared a common experience of adversity. It always takes so much courage and strength to start all over again, so it is with a new year. I hope to spend some quality time with my fans and gather all that positive energy and collectively take big bold strides into the New Year, blessed by one another,” said Joanna.
Promising lots of joy, hope and lightness to uplift audiences’ spirits, Joanna will be curating a seasonal repertoire that she does not get to perform for the rest of 2022. As a singer, she is most memorable for her iconic reinterpretations of timeless classics and for 柳暗花明演唱会: You Must Believe in Spring – 董姿彦 Joanna Dong Lunar New Year Concert, Joanna will be reinvigorating familiar favourites including 恭喜恭喜 Gong Xi Gong Xi, and 贺新年 He Xin Nian with her touch of warmth and whimsy. Alongside a few English jazz standards about spring such as Joy Spring and You Must Believe in Spring, she will also be performing her Lunar New Year single 快乐乐乐†Kuai Le Le Le live for the first time.
“I will be exploring a refreshing approach to Lunar New Year music arrangement for 柳暗花明演唱会: You Must Believe in Spring – 董姿彦 Joanna Dong Lunar New Year Concert and I hope audiences will leave the concert feeling refreshed and inspired to find new meaningful and personal ways of their own to celebrate the season,” added Joanna.
