Pianist Niu Niu to perform at VIVA Foundation concert on Oct. 27 at Esplanade in support of children with cancer

Chinese pianist Zhang Shengliang, known as Niu Niu, will perform a unique concert on October 27 at Esplanade Concert Hall, supporting the VIVA Foundation's efforts to help children battling cancer. The event, titled "VIVA Concerti: Where the Twain Shall Meet," will feature Niu Niu playing one movement from eight different concertos, as well as a debut as a violinist with an original composition.

The concert's funds will go towards cancer care, research, education, and survivorship programs, demonstrating Niu Niu's deep commitment to the cause. VIVA Foundation founder and chair Jennifer Yeo, whose son is a medical doctor, has shifted the organization's focus to improving life after childhood cancer, not just survival rates.

The foundation aims to save each child, regardless of background or nationality, and encourages public support for the cause through ticket purchases.
