30+ CONDOLENCES
One of the friendliest music persons I've met had passed away on Monday July 12th, 2021. Adrian Tan [Music Director] was only 44 years young and had died of cardiac arrest in his sleep, according to a newspaper report.
As invited guests we met him during a concert as part of Singapore's Golden Jubilee in 2015, where the SG Wind Symphony paid tribute to Singapore pop music. Adrian was the conductor.
He met us as we chatted after the show. With his gentle ways, Adrian introduced us around. We kept in touch and I have found him to be a polite, dedicated and sincere friend.
Condolences to Adrian's mother (whom he lived with), his family, colleagues and friends.
Rest In Peace Adrian. We will miss you.
Thank you for making time to come to last Sunday's concert, I've been a fan of your blog for the longest time, and follow it regularly. It has been the source of much information and knowledge about local music for me and provided me with a lot of insight.
This is one of the few blogs I read regularly as it is a treasure trove of memories and information on the golden age of local music.
What an honour it is for the SWS to be recognised by some of Singapore's music legends.
Adrian."

A tribute from blog writer Chow Wen Hing:
Singapore lost a creative citizen today. Adrian Tan, Music Director [SG Wind Symphony] left us yesterday. Although he comes from the classical side of musical expressions, nonetheless this is a lost felt across the community as Adrian had also reached out to the pop song community.
We express our deepest condolences to his family and friends, and will draw inspiration from his work and keep the creative and artistic culture alive in Singapore.
You're with the musicians in the sky now Adrian, we will miss you.
From Wen Hing [Singer/Composer].
Thanks you. Appreciate.
