Singapore's Only Professional Chinese Orchestra
Being the only professional Chinese orchestra in Singapore, the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) is accorded iconic status. Since its inauguration in 1997, the 75-strong orchestra has established its performing home in the Singapore Conference Hall, even having enjoyed the patronage of the Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Recognised for its high performing standards, the SCO has been invited to perform at various major occasions such as the World Economic Forum and the International Summit of Arts Council in 2003, as well as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Annual Meeting in 2006, which saw visitors from all over the world. With regular performances being held, catch a concert if you can during your visit to Singapore.
