“Building the future starts from the present,” says Alicia De Silva, on her reasons for joining the CSS Young Composers Forum as a mentor.
This year, the YCF mentors will share the stage with the younger composers in the closing concert of the 2026 Singapore Composers Festival.
Their works will feature alongside those of their mentees whom they passionately guided over a period of six months.
Join us to hear what the future, grounded in experience, sounds like.
