One of The Foundation’s key thrusts is the export of Singapore arts which depends greatly on the creation of original works by Singapore artists. To grow the canon of original Singapore art, The Foundation will launch The Arts of Commissioning with The Music Commissioning Series – a 10-year project that aims to champion and commission high-quality musical works by Singapore composers.

While these major works will represent more established genres like classical and jazz, our objective is to appeal to a wider audience and to focus on universal themes that reflect the undercurrents of Singapore society.
