Symphonie De Republique XVII: Monsoons

About the Show

Once shaped by monsoon winds and maritime trade, Singapore grew through its ability to adapt, connect, and endure. In this show, Republic Polytechnic Wind Symphony — joined by fellow music interest groups — draws on that same spirit of resilience, blending symphonic textures with Asian musical influences to reflect on the shifting tides of our time and the importance of collaboration. As we trace the paths of the past and the questions of the present, the concert unfolds with a quiet optimism: that Singapore will continue to find its rhythm and thrive amidst the winds of change.
