Classical collaboration marking Singapore-China friendship

The Straits Times

|

October 28, 2025

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.

- Chang Tou Liang

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.

Trump in the spotlight, Asean in the shadows

Mr Trump and Asean operate differently. Ms Susannah Patton, deputy research director at Australian think-tank Lowy Institute, said in a commentary that he is “a leader who emphasises his own unique deal-making genius to reshape international affairs”, while Asean “prioritises consensus and incremental cooperation”. One thrives on command, the other on compromise.
