Synopsis
Now in its sixth year, the SSO National Day Concert is the Singapore Symphony’s well-established annual showcase of Singaporean capability in every aspect of music. Join us to witness the world premieres of new music by Singaporean composers commissioned by the SSO, and hear us revive musical treasures from the repertory of Singapore’s pioneer composers.
The concert will be streamed live on the Singapore Symphony YouTube Channel.
Special fundraising seats have been set aside to support Shared Services for Charities (SSC) and the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. These seats are available for a donation of $500. 50% of the funds raised will support SSC programmes to help charities improve their governance. The remaining 50% will support the national orchestra in enriching our diverse communities via music. Donations will qualify for a 2.5 times tax deduction for Singapore tax residents.
To adopt these seats, please visit the giving.sg campaign page or email contact@sscharities.com. Donors can opt to attend the concert or donate the tickets to a children's charity. For more information on the SSC, please visit www.sscharities.com.
