Simeon, Viola
Simeon has had nearly 20 years of playing the violin under his belt, and holds a Licentiate Diploma (LTCL) with Distinction in Violin Performance awarded by the Trinity College of London. He picked up the viola 7 years ago and attained a Grade 8 with Distinction awarded by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. In addition to being a string player, Simeon also plays the piano, holding a Diploma in Piano Recital. More recently, he is involved with the proposed formation of a new chamber ensemble in Singapore to provide an avenue for working adults to share their love for music.
In his student days, Simeon was an active member of the Singapore National Youth Orchestra, and served as the Principal Violist in the Singapore Management University Obligato as well as the Vice-President of the Raffles Institution String Ensemble. He has performed in various concerts for an array of events both locally as well as overseas, of which include solo and chamber performances in Australia, Germany and Japan.
On a personal front, Simeon has a passion for teaching, having returned to his alma mater, Raffles Institution, as an instructor for the RI String Ensemble, and more recently, giving violin lessons to underprivileged children at the Lakeside Family Centre.
It is his hope that working with the Resonance Quartet would provide an avenue for his passion for music to resonate in the hearts of all who would care to listen.
