A festival featuring talks and workshops relating to composition, and concerts featuring pieces composed by Singapore composers. The 2024 festival featured talks by two of our own CSS members, two concerts showcasing works by our own local talents, and a cross-country collaboration with the Malaysia Composers Collective.

A mentorship programme for young composers (under 21) considering a career in composition. Under the mentorship of professional CSS members, participants undergo a six-month creative period, culminating in a final concert. The second edition of the Young Composers Forum took place in 2023.

A monthly series which showcases the lives and works of living Singapore composers. This is conducted through the form of written and video interviews which are featured on our various social media platforms.

CSS Reviews is a CSS writing initiative, providing reviews of concerts and events featuring new music, as well as “what-to-expect” guides for audience members who are interested in attending these events but feel daunted by new music!

Every month, we post a video on our YouTube channel of a performance of a work by one of our members, with the score overlaid so that viewers can follow along. Our goal for this project is to give our members more exposition, bringing Singaporean music to a wider audience, and also to serve as an archival of our Singapore compositions.

This project is a collaboration with the Composers Society of Singapore to pay homage to pioneer composers. Through a series of online lecture-seminars, Composing Monumentality chronicles the major accomplishments of pioneer composers after Singapore’s independence towards the building of a canon or standard repertory.

We hope to raise awareness of their historical achievements for the younger generation of Singaporeans through these public forums. Researchers will study the phenomenon of artistic and musical monumentality in our nation-state.

Through online interviews with CSS Member Composers, we aim to invite composers to share their working processes, extra-musical interests and inspirations, perspectives on music and composition, and life as a composer

Over the years, the Composers Society of Singapore has collaborated with a number of organizations in order to promote Singapore new music and new music composers locally and internationally.
