MESSAGES

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music (YST), National University of Singapore on its 20th anniversary. Since its inception, YST has produced talented performers, composers and producers who have gone on to achieve national and international success. Beyond the stage, Conservatory graduates are making a difference as leaders of arts organisations, innovators and community engagers. Further, YST creates rich musical avenues for the community through its youth outreach platforms, continuing education programmes and public concerts, to nurture practitioners and enthusiasts.

I am heartened to see the Conservatory’s multi-faceted contributions to Singapore’s cultural ecosystem, working alongside other arts institutions to co-create a vibrant city for the arts.

I wish YST every success in the years ahead as the Conservatory keeps on inspiring and enriching the lives of many through the power of music.
