NAC – MOE Performing Arts-based Learning (Digital)

Gain a deeper insight into how Singaporean composers have been influenced and inspired by their individual worldviews as shaped by local and Asian culture as well as by Western music traditions.

The Great Outdoors: Music in Nature and Urban Landscapes

For as long as it has been in existence, music and the world in which it is created have been inextricably connected. Composers through the ages have used music as a means of expressing an entire spectrum of feelings and emotions – from joy to sadness, celebration to protest, meditation to exultation – that reflects their relationship to both nature as well as man-made concepts.

Gain a deeper insight into how Singaporean composers have been influenced and inspired by their individual worldviews as shaped by local and Asian culture as well as by Western music traditions. Explore how different modes and processes in music creation can communicate the complex, multi-faceted relationship composers have with the changing natural landscape and the inexorable progress of urbanisation, and how this helps us better understand our modern environment.

This Digital Performing Arts-Based Learning (PABL) programme offers a blended learning arts experience that incorporates excerpts of digital concerts by the Singapore's Symphony Orchestra, Singapore National Youth Orchestra, and the Singapore Symphony Children's Choir, in addition to other self-directed or guided activities. It is commissioned by the National Arts Council and Ministry of Education.
