Under the agreement, the two organisations seek to promote talent development and industry exposure for YST students, facilitate professional development for SCO musicians through connection with YST continuing education and other educational initiatives, and collaborate on artistic initiatives to further the growth of the music sector.

Mr Terence Ho, Executive Director of SCO shared, “We endeavour to deepen our collaboration, and strive to establish a robust music ecosystem to enhance partnerships in the areas of music composition and arts administration, as well as tap on YST’s continuing education initiatives.”

Professor Peter Tornquist said, “It is our pleasure to establish this new partnership with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra, which will help advance the Conservatory’s connections with the industry as well as enable wider artistic opportunities for our students. We look forward to the further collaborations that lie ahead.”
