Classical collaboration marking Singapore-China friendship
October 28, 2025
|The Straits Times
Sixty years of Singapore-China friendship were celebrated with a concert by the Shanghai Nine Trees Philharmonic Orchestra led by world-renowned Chinese conductor Tang Muhai.
The resident orchestra of the Shanghai Nine Trees Future Art Centre in Fengxian district was augmented by many Singapore players to perform a programme of works representing both nations.
The evening opened with Singaporean Felix Phang’s Pasat Merdu (Melodious Market), which featured six musicians from The Straits Ensemble. This very accessible work skilfully combining elements of Chinese, Malay and Indian music, premiered by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra at its 2023 National Day Concert, was a microcosm of the harmonious melting pot that is Singapore.
