SSOPlayOn

Since our concert halls have remained shut over the past few months, the SSO has released an array of recordings and digital programmes as part of its digital season, SSOPlayOn! That’s good news for you – more music from the comfort of your home. Here are our picks!

For those still in the National Day mood

One People, One Nation, One Singapore –presented by SIFA x SSO This unique arrangement of our beloved national tune features percussive sounds created by ‘instruments’ found at home such as bowls, crackers and even toys!

For foodies and modern music lovers Count on Me, Singapore, featuring Benjamin Kheng SSO musicians, alongside Singaporean musician and actor Benjamin Kheng, maintained social distancing while filming this music video.

Martinů’s la revue de cuisine (Kitchen Revue) This light-hearted ballet in one act by Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů with influences from jazz. The plot is absurb – kitchenware flirting and fighting with each other! Emily Koh’s Jia[k] Local composer Emily Koh’s Jia[k] incorporates the different sounds associated with culinary experiences unique to Singapore – the ordered chaos at a hawker centre, and the garbled noises from chewing on a plate of food.
