Voilah! French festival of arts and food goes to the heartland
Heartland residents will be getting a taste of French flavour next month.
They can watch a live performance of traditional French music at a library in Woodlands or a community club in Kallang and even tuck into French cuisine at the Institute of Technical Education( ITE) College West in Choa Chu Kang.
These events are part of Voilah!, the annual French festival of arts and culture in Singapore organised by the French Embassy in Singapore and Institut Francais Singapour.
Starting today and running for seven weeks till May 31, the festival boasts 40 programmes encompassing visual and performance art, music, film and even science.
This year, the organisers are making a concerted effort to take the programmes to community spaces and the heartland.
The Baudoin Bros, a duo who play traditional folk music from the Gascony region in south-west France, will play at venues such as the Kallang Community Club, Woodlands Regional Library and Temasek Polytechnic in Tampines.
