Tunes in Purple

Celebrate the Singapore spirit with works by local composers and arrangers in Tunes in Purple, specially commissioned for The Purple Symphony, Singapore’s largest inclusive orchestra. With its unique instrumentation and vibrant spirit, look forward to a fresh new way to experience music!

Enjoy original pieces inspired by everyday sights and sounds, alongside medleys blending classical music, folk tunes and beloved Singapore melodies. Highlights include excerpts from Bizet’s Carmen Suite, a xinyao medley by Liang Wern Fook, and Singapore-inspired works such as Kreta Ayer and Fortitude by Liong Kit Yeng

The Purple Symphony, facilitated by the Central Singapore Community Development Council, debuted in 2015 as Singapore’s largest inclusive orchestra.

Comprising over 100 musicians with and without disabilities, the orchestra brings together five key sections: bowed and plucked strings, percussion, winds and choir.

More than a musical platform, The Purple Symphony fosters learning, collaboration and the celebration of abilities. It champions inclusion while uniting musicians to share their love of music and serve the community as one.
