MESSAGES

YST is also pioneering new pathways in musical education, with the launch of lifelong education programmes for working professionals. Looking ahead, we are excited that the Conservatory is boldly pushing new frontiers in health and well-being through the newlylaunched Centre for Music and Health, and strengthening its leading role as a driving force for talent cultivation and musical appreciation across the NUS community.

A warm welcome to YST’s 20th anniversary gala concert - thank you for being here with us this evening!
Since its founding, YST has built an extensive presence in the Singapore ecosystem and deepest gratitude goes to all who have enabled the Conservatory to come to where it is today – our donors, partners, leaders past and present, faculty and staff, students and alumni. Looking back on our journey thus far, it truly takes a village, and we are grateful for all the support and faith we have received, that has enabled us to continually advance our mission.

At the same time, 20 is a young age for a Conservatory, and we are boldly moving forward. There is much that we want to achieve, and we are well-positioned to amplify our impact across our academic offerings, community outreach, research, and wider partnerships in music and education.
Just as we are excited to share this evening’s concert with you, we are eager to share our developments with you through our programmes and initiatives across this year and beyond. We look forward to staying connected and wish you an enjoyable evening ahead.
