Through videos, seminars and interviews, the Composers Society of Singapore promotes local composers and showcase their music to the wider public.

Singapore Composers Festival

Since the formation of the Composers Society of Singapore in 2007, we have been dedicating ourselves to the promotion and documentation of new music in Singapore, as well as creating opportunities for the creation of new music. The inaugural Singapore Composers Festival, held on 23 March 2024, seeks to fulfill these three key missions. With sufficient funding, we hope to make this a yearly event.

– Dates and details for the next festival have not been announced. Please stay tuned! –

Young Composers Forum

In 2016, the Composers Society of Singapore launched its first edition of the Young Composers Forum, a mentorship programme for young composers under the age of twenty-one, who are considering a career in composition.

Under the tutelage of senior CSS composers, up to 10 aspiring young composers will be guided through a 6-month creative period consisting of meet-the-musicians sessions, masterclasses and workshops, while working towards writing new piece for the YCF ensemble-in-residence. The programme culminates in a final concert, featuring the works written during the programme.

Recordings of the 2023 YCF Concert have been archived on our YouTube channel. Check out the playlist!
