Have A Seat in the Home of the SSO
Contribute to the Singapore Symphony Orchestra’s future by adopting a seat in the Victoria Concert Hall
Have A Seat in the Home of the SSO
Since 1980, the national monument Victoria Concert Hall has been the Home of the SSO, where memorable musical experiences are created for generations of Singaporeans.
As part of SSO’s 45th-anniversary celebration in 2024, we introduced our Have A Seat programme, comprising an exclusive selection of seats made available for adoption.
With donation tiers of $8,000, $15,000, $25,000*, you are invited to make your mark on a seat(s) with a dedicated plaque for the next five years. Your named seat serves as a display of your support towards the national orchestra. Come and be part of SSO’s home!
When you Have A Seat:
- You contribute to the SSO Endowment Fund, securing the future of the national orchestra.
- You enable the SSO to present more world-class performances at the Victoria Concert Hall.
- You support SSO children’s programmes that nurture the next generations’ appreciation of the arts and culture.

*Patron benefits apply. Tax deduction of 2.5 times the value of your donation may apply (for tax residents of Singapore).
