Musica Intimae – The Anatomy of Goodbye

Musica Intimae: The Anatomy of Goodbye is a semi-staged choral and spoken-word performance by Vox Camerata. It weaves together choral repertoire, live spoken word, and an intimate moment of audience participation — one that invites you to share, with a performer, the last thing you would want to say to someone you love.

Featuring Vox Camerata's Chamber Singers alongside the Vox Camerata Community Choir, the performance explores grief not as something to be fixed or overcome, but as a shared human experience that connects us across faith, culture, and community.

Please note: this is a continuous performance with no intermission.

Mohamed Shahril Bin Mohamed Salleh (Dr.) is a social scientist who researches the cultural formation in Singapore with a focus on how agency is imagined and enacted within the confines of the state. He is passionate about advocating for cultural workers in their artistic practice and their personal and professional development. As an inter-cultural and inter-faith advocate, much of his work concerns itself with finding ways to use the performing arts as a means to create spaces for communities to come together to better understand religious and cultural differences in Singapore. Shahril is the founder and Artistic Director of Vox Camerata, as well as an honorary lecturer at the University of Queensland, Australia.
