SSO National Day Concert

A nation is defined in many ways, but its inner soul is made of music. The SSO National Day Concert brings together the works of Singapore composers past and present in our continuing journey to make music Singaporeans can recognise as our own. This year’s NDC features compositions from veteran composers Kelly Tang and Tsao Chieh, as well as young composers Sulwyn Lok and Germaine Goh, concluding with the winning compositions of the NDC 2026 Call for Compositions.The SSO is raising funds to support the expansion of Singapore's living library of musical works as we commission, perform and preserve music written by composers who live amongst us, reflecting our shared heritage and experiences.
