SINGAPORE: Three former recipients of the HSBC Youth Excellence Awards are back in Singapore to perform for charity.

Pianist Clare Yeo, 16, opera singer Janani Sridhar, 19, and violinist Gabriel Ng, 13, have participated in internationally-renowned competitions and even performed at world-class venues, including the Carnegie Hall.

For the first time, they have banded together to raise money for the beneficiaries of the President's Challenge 2008.
