About Lynnette Seah
Lynnette Seah is an acclaimed violinist and founding member of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO). In 2006, she was awarded the Cultural Medallion for Music, the highest award for the arts in Singapore. She retired as a violinist and co-concertmaster from the SSO in 2019 after an incredible career spanning four decades.
Besides music, Lynnette is also passionate about food. Since 2015, Lynnette runs a private dining kitchen, Lynnette’s Kitchen, in the comfort of her own home. As a Peranakan, Lynnette enjoys cooking Peranakan dishes and holds the cuisine close to her heart. Like her music, Lynnette’s cooking has also been featured on the world stage, such as the Asian Masters and World Gourmet Summit.
Lynnette was inducted to the Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame in 2014.
Join her at Ambulance Wish Singapore’s Ramay-Ramay: A Peranakan-Themed Charity Dinner as she dazzles guests with her repertoire of food and music. Lynnette will be working with Raffles Singapore to create a specially curated menu and performing for guests on her Jean-Baptiste Gabrielli violin, which was made in Florence, Italy in 1750.
