The Canticle Singers - Memory of Markus Ng

Got an email this morning from HK Chong, Founder & Music Director of The Canticle Singers.

They will be having performance on 30th and 31st May at Universiti of Malaya. Within their repertoire, one of the numbers will be dedicated to the life and memory of Markus Ng. Markus's parents would be present at the performance on 31st May 2009.

Would like to seek the help of those of you who know Markus, to locate a well-composed and high resolution colour picture of Markus with his guitar. If you have the photo, do let me know, and I will put you in touch with HK Chong. Please kindly help to spread the words to those others who might have the photo.

If you are able to make it to the performance and are willing to support it, do get your ticket at AXCESS Ticketing.

Thanks for your help and support.
