SMU Chinese Orchestra premieres a new composition And Beyond in the SMU25 Arts Festival concert
- In the COMMISSIONS concert held at the SOTA Concert Hall, the SMU Chinese Orchestra premiered And Beyond, a new work by local composer Mr Eric Watson, conducted by Mr Quek Ling Kiong. The concert reaffirmed SMU’s long-standing tradition of commissioning local works, a rare initiative for a non-conservatory university. The premiere featured collaborations with guest musicians Ms De Silva Alicia Joyce and Mr Dinh Cao Tue, performing on the Khong Wong Yai and Dan Bau respectively. Alongside the Angklung, these instruments represent the musical traditions of Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia—countries where SMU has established overseas centres. Their inclusion reflects SMU’s dedication to diversity, cross-cultural exchange, meaningful contribution, and the strength that emerges from collaboration. This mirrors SMU’s belief in creating nurturing spaces for every voice to be heard and every talent to shine.
Set on Campus Green, In Sight is a kinetic light installation that ignites the curiosity and imagination of all ages
- The photo featured In Sight, a kinetic light installation in Campus Green that was inspired by Michael Craig-Martin's Bright Idea. It comprised five outlines of lightbulbs uprighted in layered progression, animated in moving lights with changing angles and patterns. The bulbs appeared fragmented, abstract from different perspectives, yet aligned into a single, luminous image from one precise vantage point. The installation formed a metaphor for creativity -- when ideas often need to evolve through layers, shifts, and unexpected connections, coming into clarity only when viewed from the right angle. Through the fusion of light, movement, and perceptual illusion, In Sight prompts viewers to pause and rediscover how a spark of inspiration can illuminate new perspectives. In collaboration with the Singapore Night Festival, the SMU Arts Festival opened on 22 August 2025 with 25 x 25 Exhibition, a multidisciplinary exhibition held at SMU de Suantio Gallery and Campus Green. The result was a vibrant dialogue between generations: a calligraphy piece reimagined through contemporary spoken word; a traditional ink painting reflected through a photographic lens; and a large-scale light installation that transformed Campus Green into an immersive walk-through experience. Visitors included SMU students, staff, alumni, and members of the public, many of whom commented on how the works deepened their understanding of SMU’s commitment to fostering creativity beyond the classroom.
SMU Eurhythmix opens RE:TURN showcase for SMU's Jubilee celebration with a high energy fusion of hip hop with classical forms
- On 20 September, SMU Eurhythmix (EMIX) – the university’s oldest and largest dance club, itself marking 25 years – staged a Return of RE:TURN at the Drama Centre Theatre. The full-length production fused hip-hop with Malay, Indian and Chinese classical dance, blending mentorship from established choreographers with student-driven innovation. Students, staff and partners pushed creative boundaries with confidence and flair, forging a new dance vocabulary that extends beyond SMU to Singapore, making an iconoclastic and impactful contribution to the nation's art and culture. The performance opened with a modern prelude that explores the influence of social media in the dance amongst the youth, using trendy Tik-Tok favourite tracks ranging from K-pop to Billboard hits. At a point, the dancers performed behind a softly lit translucent screen animated with social‑media imagery.

- (Front from right) Ms Michaela Leung, Alumna, School of Social Sciences and Ms Melody Faith Ng, Year 2, Yong Pung How School of Law, lead female cast of the musical MAD, injected humour and energy to an adaptation of “Hey Mickey” in an exuberant dance number. The Arts Festival 2025 reached its crescendo with the premiere of MAD The Musical, staged from 26 to 28 September at the Drama Centre Theatre. The musical is SMU's first-ever original musical, conceived by Jo Tan, scored by Jimmy Ye, and directed and choreographed by George Chan and Andy Benjamin Cai. With “2560” as its theme, the SMU Arts Festival marked how far both SMU and Singapore have come, and hinted at what lies ahead: a future built on creativity, resilience and community. It was not merely about performances, but about the resilient spirit of imagination that challenges community perspectives and reinforces collective connection to the SMU story.
Celebrating cultural confluence with Khong Wong Yai in the orchestral production COMMISSIONS
- Guest musician Ms De Silva Alicia Joyce, a versatile composer-educator educator with a deep appreciation for the diverse sounds and practices of Southeast Asian music cultures, was invited to perform on the Khong Wong Yai in COMMISSIONS. It was a one-night-only concert presented by the SMU Chinese Orchestra (SMUCO) held at the SOTA Concert Hall. Her experience in Javanese gamelan and Thai Piphat ensemble has led to frequent collaborations where she performs on the Javanese gamelan and Thai Piphat instruments across arts disciplines to create new experiences and perspectives towards the arts through multi-sensory performances. 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 Khong Wong Yai is a circular frame of gongs used in Thai classical music. Consisting of sixteen tuned bossed gongs set within a rattan frame and played with two beaters, it serves a central role in the piphat ensemble by outlining the skeletal melody that guides the surrounding instruments. Each gong is individually tuned using beeswax beneath it, contributing to the instrument’s distinctive timbre.
