Disappearing Series

A concert series that premiered in 2017 to critical acclaim, paying homage to the vanishing trades of our Singaporean Chinese culture through multidisciplinary experiences. Songs of the Dragon Kiln is a take on the hillside wood-fired kilns built in Singapore by immigrant Chinese in the last century, now on the verge of extinction, presented through Chinese chamber music and documentary film. Seven Sisters’ Sonata is a love story told in music and dance, that traipses through Singapore’s iconic Chinatown in an exploration of the Seven Sisters Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine’s Day.

Composium

A triennial festival in Singapore that gives composers of all nationalities and ages a platform to showcase their Chinese chamber music. The festival comprises a composition competition, a series of symposiums, and two concerts. The first concert, Masters’ Replay, sees Ding Yi musicians perform all the adjudicators’ Chinese chamber music works; finalists’ compositions are performed in the Prize Presentation Concert, before the final results are announced. Composium was first launched by Ding Yi Music Company in 2012 with the aim of establishing a wide repertoire of Chinese chamber works.

Ding Yi Chinese Chamber Music Festival

A biennial series of concerts and workshops by accomplished ensembles and experts from around the world. Audiences experience a unique encounter with a spectrum of styles and approaches, while collaboration and creativity are further sparked as Chinese chamber music practitioners come together. The Festival was first organised in 2013, with a summit live streamed for the first time in 2022 to grow the appreciation of the genre among an international audience.
