Music matters

Esplanade's Mosaic Series returns with a year-end edition dubbed The Art of Song. The five-day event runs until Nov 14.

Playing on Nov 11 is Grammy-nominated Norwegian composer-singer Bernhoft, while Danish jazz diva Sinne Eeg, accompanied by the Jacob Christoffersen Trio, will see the weekend out on Nov 12.

Japanese experimental pop darling Shugo Tokumaru will help chase away the Monday blues on Nov 13; and four-time Grammy-nominee Feist, who needs no introduction, brings things to a close on Nov 14 itself. If you're still in the mood for more 'live' music, nineties soul sensation Michael Bolton brings his Asian Dreams tour to The Star on Nov 15 at 8pm.
