There’s an SSO concert for everyone!

If you’ve enjoyed our concerts, we would be thrilled if you would show some love to the SSO. Donate today and become a valued Patron of the SSO.

As a music lover, you’d know there is nothing like a live music performance to inspire, soothe or excite.

Help us ensure that the price of a ticket is never the reason for anyone to miss out on this experience.

Help us to continue to present non-ticketed free concerts in community spaces such as parks and schools; provide discounts for students and concessions for seniors; as well as free tickets to charities.

The government and the Tote Board together provide more than half of our funding needs, but a large part of it is in the form of matching funds, where money will only get to us if we raise donations from the public. And that’s you!

Join us in our mission, share the love for music and make a gift to SSO.

Thank you!

We are constantly looking for new ways to reach out to new audiences.

Warcraft, Friends, Gershwin, Radiohead… Music from video games, theme songs from popular TV shows, jazz and rock beats – they all took their place on stage with Brahms and Mahler this past year.

As we wind down in 2019, we look back at the exceptional music and the joy of experiencing a live concert with people of all ages and backgrounds – some for the very first time. Here’s a visual wrap-up of what went down in the last 12 months:

ROCK IN 60 MINUTES: UP ALL NIGHT FOR SOME FUN

In a Red Balloon concert, the SSO performed an explosive, rock-infused electric night of music from the likes of Frank Zappa, Daft Punk and Radiohead.

JAZZ IT UP WITH GERSHWIN: IT’S SWING TIME! CONCERT

It was a night of jive and groove with our Principal Guest Conductor Andrew Litton jazzed up the stage with a toe-tapping evening of Gershwin and Shostakovich.

HAPPY DAYS CONCERT

The SSO relived the good ol’ days of television with conductor Gerard Salonga. It was a nostalgic take on the SSO’s own 40th birthday.

VIDEO GAMES CLASSICS CONCERT

The Irish Queen of Games Music conducted a grand musical party of fantastic tunes from the World of Warcraft, The legend of Zelda, Skyrim, Final Fantasy and Tetris.

AN INTERGALACTIC ADVENTURE CONCERT

This concert featured lots of special effects, including one Foley artist!

PETER AND THE WOLF IN HOLLYWOOD

This concert featured lots of special effects, including one Foley artist!

EMILY SAVES THE ORCHESTRA

This is a well-loved tale featuring excerpts from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker - complete with an autograph session after all the orchestra saving.

CONCERT AT GARDENS BY THE BAY

Special thanks to The Straits Times for their support for this concert at Botanic Gardens.

SSO CLASSICS IN THE PARK

A flourish of lively music at this open-air concert in the Gardens by the Bay: the royal majesty of Handel, the dawn-lit serenity of Grieg, the festive joy of the Capriccio Espagnol.

NO ORCHESTRA, NO PROBLEM

The VCH Organ Series on 1 April 2019 was no joke. It was a free concert featuring the versatility and extensive range of the pipe organ.

PIPE UP! II

SSO trombonist Samuel Armstrong and Singaporean Organist Isaac Lee team up for this free lunch (time concert). There is such a thing, after all.

MPC@ KHATIB

We brought our concerts to the heartlands with a fun and family-friendly programme for all.

PAYA LEBAR METHODIST GIRLS SCHOOL

SSO also performed for the community at Paya Lebar Methodist Girls School auditorium.
