                                        Under the baton of Mr Heng Xiangle (pictured), Mr Quek Ling Kiong and Mr Wilson Neo, the SMU Chinese Orchestra (SMUCO) performed in COMMISSIONS, a concert celebrating SMU’s track record of commissioning orchestral works — including three world premieres. SMU had consistently supported local talent by commissioning new orchestral compositions. To celebrate SMU25 and SG60, the SMU Chinese Orchestra presented a special concert featuring commissioned works from past years alongside multicultural pieces that celebrated Singapore’s rich diversity. The programme included three world premieres of original commissions and guest players, including The Purple Symphony, underscoring SMU’s commitment to inclusion. Since its inception in 2009, SMUCO has distinguished itself through various cross-disciplinary works and creative programming under the baton of Mr Quek Ling Kiong. In 2019, the orchestra marked its 10th anniversary with the commemorative concert Perfect 10 – FM SMUCO. Despite the interruption of live performances during COVID‑19, SMUCO remained agile and imaginative, presenting virtual productions such as the 2020 showcase "To Gather" as part of the SMU Arts Festival. In 2022, the orchestra made its return to the stage with Spring Rhapsodies. Today, SMUCO is led by its principal conductor Mr Heng Xiangle, who trained under Mr Quek Ling Kiong and made his conducting debut at the age of 21.

                                          Celebrating cultural confluence with Dan Bau in the orchestral production COMMISSIONS
                                          Guest musician Mr. Dinh Cao Tue is a Viet–Vietnamese creative and arts practitioner based between Singapore and Vietnam. Apart from writing, he performs on the Dan Bau, a traditional Vietnamese single‑string instrument, through which he explores and shares stories of cultural confluence. Tue has participated in numerous intercultural arts projects within his university’s arts groups as well as in various initiatives across Singapore. In celebration of SMU25 and SG60, the concert commissioned works from past years alongside multicultural pieces celebrating Singapore’s rich diversity. The programme includes three world premieres of original commissions written specially for SMU25 and SG60, a multicultural music segment and performances by guest musicians --including artists from Singapore’s Purple Symphony. It reaffirmed SMU’s long-standing tradition of commissioning local works, a rare initiative for a non-conservatory university. The concert also features unique instruments from Asian countries where SMU has her overseas centers -- Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, highlighting SMU’s commitment to inclusion and cultural exchange. The Đàn bầu (or Dan Bau) is a distinctive Vietnamese monochord, a one‑stringed zither celebrated for its haunting, voice‑like tones created through harmonic techniques. Traditionally crafted from bamboo, a gourd, and a flexible rod, it has long held a central place in Vietnamese folk music, often accompanying poetry recitations and storytelling. Contemporary versions often crafted with metal and wood, incorporate electric pickups to enhance projection and sound quality.
