beyond fraction beyond time signature beyond words beyond beginnings … 3,4! it’s an attitude.
This season’s theme, “…3, 4!”, is left intentionally simple yet cryptic. While the musical meter of 3/4 and the world of waltzes may first come to mind, a play on these commonplace numbers can lead to further depths and unexpected finds – not least,
� “…3, 4!” as a signal towards emboldened awakenings and emergence;
� “3” and “4” as a nod towards numeric symbolism;
� “3 or 4” as a metaphor for choices and negotiation.
With “…3, 4!”, we usher in new beginnings — an attitude of freshness, a multitude of possibilities, and quirkily alternative ways of experiencing music.
“Curious about what Singapore and Southeast Asia’s future orchestras might look and sound like?
Go to Kent Ridge – home of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory – and watch this space.”

TOU LIANG, THE STRAITS TIMES
Inspirational life-affirming music-making is at the heart of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music (YST) at the National University of Singapore. Centred in Singapore – one of the world’s most dynamic countries – while embracing a global perspective, we are uniquely placed to offer the world a distinct and powerful contemporary Asian voice.
Founded in 2003, YST has established a reputation as Asia’s most exciting international conservatory, nurturing a new generation of musical leaders in performance, composition, production, and community engagement. Our graduates are visible within Singapore and around the world as distinguished artists, leaders and musicians of top ensembles, trailblazing producers and creators, and inspiring educators. Across their diverse stories, they share a common home: the close-knit YST community which has an intentionally-small and internationally diverse student body, world-class faculty who are experts in their fields, and warm connections with alumni and the industry.
20 years ago, we began our journey with the Bachelor of Music (BMus) programme as our core educational focus. Over the years, our educational offering has expanded substantially to include graduate, continuing education, and young artist programmes, as well as course offerings for NUS undergraduates at large. Further, we engage the public in music through our extensive and accessible concert programming, community engagement initiatives, and the work of our Centre for Music and Health.
“YST nurtures not only eminent musicians, but also excellent leaders and entrepreneurs. It hones artistry, engages the community through music, and equips musicians with diverse capabilities for a rapidly-evolving 21st century.”
Beyond Singapore’s shores, YST connects with an extensive international network. We engage in robust bilateral partnerships with top music schools and actively contribute in higher music education alliances including ConNext, the International Benchmarking Group, Pacific Alliance of Music Schools, Southeast Asian Directors of Music, and the European Association of Conservatoires. These ties translate into greater opportunities for our students and graduates, be it through access to prominent artists visiting the Conservatory, or pathways to gain international exposure abroad. They also energise our work by offering us a keen perspective on global evolutions in the arts and education industries.
In all that we do, we are deeply grateful for the philanthropic support that enables us to nurture excellence. Major gifts from the Yong Loo Lin Trust make it possible for us to offer full tuition support for all our undergraduate students. Our generous donors also create opportunities such as student access to fine string instruments (through generous loan from the Rin Collection); eminent visiting artists such as András Schiff, Masaaki Suzuki and Nobuko Imai (through the Ong Teng Cheong Professorship in Music); and career development funding for students to forge their own distinctive paths through festivals, competitions and self-initiated projects.
With ‘Listen in New Light’ as our guiding principle, YST is well-positioned to lead change in the music and higher music education sectors. We seek to continue creating new possibilities for what a 21stcentury conservatory can be, and what it can contribute, in the world.

Violinist Paul Huang graces us for a very special evening at the Conservatory Concert Hall, sharing his personal insights as a prolific international artist in a fireside chat, followed by a chamber music performance alongside YST Associate Professor in Piano Ning An as well as students of the CAVE Quartet.
Recipient of the prestigious 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 2017 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists, violinist Paul Huang is considered to be one of the most distinctive artists of his generation. The Washington Post remarked that Mr. Huang “possesses a big, luscious tone, spot-on intonation and a technique that makes the most punishing string phrases feel as natural as breathing,” and further proclaimed him as “an artist with the goods for a significant career” following his recital debut at the Kennedy Center.
In partnership with the Orchestra of the Music Makers.

La valse, A Choreographic Poem
“Through whirling clouds, waltzing couples may be faintly distinguished. The clouds gradually scatter… an immense hall peopled with a whirling crowd...”
– Maurice Ravel, Preface to La Valse
In splendidly chandeliered halls where no vestige of shadow exists, the waltz presides; it is an excuse for wickedly transgressive intimacy, a promise of reveries. The waltz, with its intoxicating and ensnaring circularity, is also the perfect guise for time’s ravages. In the words of Maurice Ravel: “This dance may seem tragic, like any other emotion – voluptuousness, joy – pushed to the extreme.”
If Schubert’s Symphony No. 7 “Unfinished” captured the golden moment of European Romanticism at its height, a hundred years later, Ravel’s 1920 La valse met with a world making sense amidst shambles and destruction of the “Great War”; opulence made carcasses by shadows that even the most impressive illuminations could not chase away. Caught at the crossfire of change (and another World War), Korngold, and the world he inhabited, grappled with the tragedies and triumphs of humanity’s folly-filled search for its better angels.
This is music of ‘unfinished business’; the unfinished works, unfinished stories, unfinished pursuits of peace. Come join us for this concert featuring the YST Orchestral Institute, as well as YST Concerto Competition prizewinner violinist Tsao WeiChun (BMus3) who will perform Korngold’s Violin Concerto

It’s a vivid celebration of violas as critically acclaimed violist Sangjin Kim collaborates with YST students to perform a diverse programme – from well-loved classics to fascinating arrangements and original compositions by Sangjin himself.
Described as “a poised, appealing performer with rock-solid technique, warm, powerful, variable tone and a simple direct expressiveness” (Strings Magazine), Sangjin is a winner of several international solo and chamber music competitions and tours the United States, Europe, and Asia in more than 70 performances a year.
A former member of the International Sejong Soloists and Kumho Asiana String Quartet, Mr. Kim is frequently featured as a soloist with major symphony orchestras in Korea. He is a founding member of the vibrant M.I.K. Ensemble, celebrated as one of the leading quartets in the classical music scene. Upon receiving the Presidential Award in 2001, one of the highest civilian awards in Korea, he was subsequently designated an Ambassador of Culture in honour of his achievements.

Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36
“This is Fate, the fatal power that hinders one in the pursuit of happiness from gaining the goal… There is nothing to do but to submit.”
– Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
The concept of ‘fate’ pervades numerous cultures and appears in countless tales. Despite varied guises and names, at its core, ‘fate’ ultimately represents an inescapable force that presides over human lives; an elusive yet powerful shadow that humans battle, confront, or yield to. Through fortuities and misfortunes, we reckon with lives’ twists and turns.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Sergei Rachmaninoff shared a certain fixation on ‘fate’. While Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 was the composer’s most rhetorically overt exploration on the topic, the Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) motif – and its existential subtext – permeates the ethos of numerous Rachmaninoff works, including his Piano Concerto No. 1 and Vocalise.
Perhaps artistic expression entices as an illusory chasm between ‘fate’ and ‘free will’; through art, we have the power to excavate various permutations, to suspend realities’ relentless trudging, to dig up our own endings. Come join us in this concert featuring the YST Orchestral Institute, as well as YST Concerto Competition prizewinner pianist Edenia Maureen (BMus4).

Hear the pianos resonating loud and clear! Four fine pianos and YST faculty and alumni pianists take the stage alongside the YST Orchestral Institute, in a dazzling display of piano artistry and passion.
In this concert, we express our appreciation to Mr Tan Kah Tee, a longtime benefactor of YST who has given to the Conservatory in many ways – from instrument donations to generous support for our artistic and educational mission. We are deeply grateful for his new gift of a Fazioli F278 Concert Grand for YST’s recent 20th anniversary, which joins his earlier gifts of two Bösendorfer pianos (Imperial Model 290 and Johann Strauss).
Inspired by his love for music, we bring together four of the Conservatory’s concert pianos in full force – the Fazioli and Bösendorfer kindly gifted by Mr Tan, and two Steinway D pianos. To bring the celebration to life, YST faculty and alumni pianists, joined by the YST Orchestral Institute and guest musicians, showcase the piano in diverse settings – as well as the rich musical talent nurtured through philanthropy to the Conservatory.
Bach Cantata Series: The “Other” Bach

YST VOICE DEPARTMENT ORCHESTRAL INSTITUTE WITH LIEN BOON HUA, CONDUCTOR AND THE GREAT COBI
To commemorate the 13th iteration of the Bach Cantata Series at YST, we will be presenting a concert of the somewhat lesser known of Bach’s children: P.D.Q. Bach (a.k.a. Peter Schickele).
This obscure ‘genius’ left us many unforgettable musical contributions to the great Bach line, including The Art of the Ground Round, S 1.19/lb; Goldbrick Variations, S. 14; and many other works.
On this evening, we will be presenting some of P.D.Q. Bach’s masterworks, including The Stoned Guest, a half-act opera, S. 86 Proof; selections from The Short-Tempered Clavier; the Canine Cantata: Wachet Arf! (Sleeping Dogs, Awake!), S. K9; the Cantata Blaues Gras (Bluegrass Cantata), S. 6 String; and many others. Join us for the fun as we celebrate this lesser known Bach talent with singing, staged opera and, most importantly, the world premiere of the sensational Cobi!
