Synopsis
Join the Singapore National Youth Sinfonia (SNYS) and Associate Conductor Seow Yibin, as they weave a rich tapestry of colours in this accessible programme of folk-inspired music. Open with the joyful exuberance of Brahms's Academic Festival Overture, followed by the iconic first suite of Grieg’s ever-popular Peer Gynt. The SNYS is then joined by soprano Joyce Lee Tung for Morgen!, Strauss’s tender tribute to hope and love, before concluding with Kodály’s Dances of Galánta, a lively echo of the Hungarian spirit in his youth.

The Singapore National Youth Sinfonia was formed from the rich heritage of the Singapore National Youth Orchestra (SNYO). Under the guidance of the Singapore Symphony Group (SSG), the orchestra was transformed, and the ensemble emerged as the Youth Sinfonia in 2016.
The SNYS consists of over 80 members aged 10 to 18 from more than 50 schools across Singapore, guided by professional musicians in rehearsals, sectionals, and masterclasses. Recognised by the Ministry of Education as a National Project of Excellence, members of the SNYO have their participation in the orchestra recognised as a Co-Curricular Activity and is led by SNYO’s Associate Conductor, Mr Seow Yibin.
The SNYS actively engages in educational outreach initiatives to inspire the next generation of musicians through outreach concerts, and is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of musical talent, providing aspiring young musicians with a platform to hone their skills and express their creativity.
