In 2010 and 2015, to encourage and develop young local composers, The Philharmonic Winds made open calls for new compositions, from which an international panel of experts selected works to receive their premieres at the “Singapore Compose!” concerts. In 2002, The Philharmonic Winds initiated the Philharmonic Youth Winds, providing an opportunity for young, passionate musicians to further their ensemble experience. In 2008, the young orchestra was crowned the top First Division band at the inaugural Singapore International Band Festival, under the baton of its Resident Conductor Adrian Chiang and with guidance by musicians from The Philharmonic Winds.
