Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) Caring Series 2016

The Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) Caring Series is an initiative started in 2004 with the aim to bring melodious music, with a healing touch, to patients and healthcare personnel. Proudly sponsored by the Tan Chin Tuan Foundation, the SCO Caring Series 2016 brought encouragement to the residents and healthcare workers of KWSH with their music performance on 14 September 2016.

Opening with the Hokkien pop-classic “风真透”, SCO performed a unique medley of pop songs across several languages, including Malay, Cantonese and Mandarin, delighting the residents who were able to revive their fond memories from those evergreen pieces. Many residents gave their seal of approvals with encouraging applause.

Joining this marvellous mini concert were young students from Hong Wen School Chinese Orchestra. As part of this ‘caring’ activity, the students spent a meaningful afternoon enjoying the concert together with the elderly residents of KWSH.

The SCO Caring Series has not only inspired the school students to develop greater compassion towards the community but also touched the hearts of KWSH’s residents and caregivers through music as well.

SCO Assistant Conductor Mr Moses Gay shared, “Every time we perform at the ‘Caring Series’, I feel that there is a greater cause behind.  There is much greater value to our music whenever we see our performance bring comfort and beautiful memories to the patients.”
