The recent Three Nations Concert (22 Jul 2022) was a collaborative venture between the Malaysian Composers Collective, Asian Composers League (South Korea) and Composers Society of Singapore. In this concert, the chamber works from these three cultures were performed in a rich, multicultural exchange of musical creativity.

The Singaporean composers who represented the CSS were:

• HOH Chung Shih – Distancing Etude , for piano and mixed ensemble
• Elliot TEO – Petals in the Sun , for brass quintet
• Emily KOH – smidgen(S) , for cello and piano
