WHO ARE WE ?
In late 2021, the Singapore Chinese Music Federation decided to form a council of young artists and musicians in Singapore that could represent the voices of the youth and create programmes and projects that could further enhance the promotion and love of Chinese music to the younger generation.
A subsidiary of the Singapore Chinese Music Federation, the Youth Chapter aims to provide ways to introduce and promote Chinese music to the younger generation and to give young artists a platform to be heard, empowered and to be the agents of change. These young leaders will also be in charge of leading and conceptualizing productions or programmes that target the younger generation and raise awareness of Chinese music through innovative means. The Youth Chapter hopes to create a community for the younger generation to connect with other enthusiasts and more experienced musicians, while cultivating a sense of belonging. This includes building relationships, learning from each other, and exploring different forms of music making together.

ABOUT THE CAMP
In conceptualizing the Music Camp, the members of the Youth Chapter had looked back upon their own musical experiences and memories as students. As local musicians and Chinese music artists from Generation Y (or the Millennial Generation), they had experienced a musical journey that had seen many of them and their peers actively participating in school and community Chinese orchestras and attending concerts by these Chinese orchestras, with many having a great amount of passion for Chinese music and the desire to pursue further development in their musicianship. The Music Camp draws inspiration from a common experience of many of the members of the Youth Chapter – the past National Chinese Orchestra Music Camps organized by the Ministry of Education. In these camps, students from different schools came together to learn and make music together, culminating in a music concert.
This iteration of SCMF’s Music Camp similarly aims to be a platform for students from various schools and backgrounds to interact and make music together. Participants will come together to form a student orchestra led by local talent Moses Gay, current Associate Conductor of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra, and tutored by Singapore - based artists who are established and known in the Chinese Music circle.
