The TENG Company and Composers Society of Singapore (CSS) are proud to launch an open call for The Giam-Lim Composition Prize 2025, seeking visionary composers who are excited to shape the future of TENG’s signature East-meets-West Singaporean musical language.

We invite submissions of original works or work proposals that reflect a bold fusion of Chinese and Western music traditions, written for The TENG Ensemble’s unique instrumentation. This is a rare opportunity to work with one of Singapore’s leading contemporary fusion music ensembles and to contribute meaningfully to its evolving artistic identity.

The call is open to Singaporean and Singapore-based composers, regardless of background or formal music training. Composers who have worked with TENG before are ineligible for the call.

PRIZE:
🥇 $2,000 commission fee
🥇 3 year CSS membership
🥇 Winner will be added to TENG’s composer repertoire for future performances and given priority to commission any future works that TENG intends to perform

SUBMISSION DEADLINE:
