Special Recognition
Recognising Our Donors
The Singapore Symphony Group (SSG) would like to recognise the large gifts made by the following donors:
Quantedge Music Director
In January 2025, the SSO Quantedge Music Director position was named in recognition of a major donation to the orchestra by an anonymous donor.
The position is currently held by Maestro Hans Graf, who has inspired the SSO and its audiences since helming our 2020/21 season as Chief Conductor. As he bids farewell this season and passes the title to Hannu Lintu, we thank him for his leadership and artistry.

Established in July 2017, the SSO Concertmaster, GK Goh Chair honours Mr Goh Geok Khim, and celebrates his enduring contribution to Singapore’s cultural landscape. We extend our gratitude to the Family and Friends of Mr Goh, and especially to Mr and Mrs Goh Yew Lin, for their generosity.
The position will be held by Andrew Beer from the 2026/27 season.
