Healing Arts Singapore Opening Concert

Join us for the Opening Concert of Healing Arts Singapore—the first country-level Healing Arts activation in Asia. The Opening Concert celebrates the transformative power of music through an inspiring evening of performances, featuring Chen Zhangyi's LILY, the YST Orchestral Institute, pianist Azariah Tan, Arts Fission, Beautiful Minds and TENG Ensemble. Blending classical masterpieces with contemporary creations, the programme takes you on a musical journey through themes of resilience and renewal—uniting musicians, dancers, and audiences in a shared experience of art as healing.

Healing Arts Singapore is co-led by the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Centre for Music and Health at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, the University of the Arts Singapore’s (UAS) Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, and the Jameel Arts & Health lab in collaboration with the World Health Organization.
