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 .
