SINGAPORE MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY CHINESE ORCHESTRA
Since its inception in 2009, SMU Chinese Orchestra (SMUCO) has distinguished itself through various cross-disciplinary works and creative programming under the baton of Quek Ling Kiong. In 2019, SMUCO celebrated its 10th anniversary with a commemorative concert Perfect 10 - FM SMUCO. While COVID-19 had paused live performances, SMUCO continued to be creative and adaptable through presenting virtual performances such as the 2020 production, To Gather as part of the SMU Arts Fest. In 2022, SMUCO returned to the physical stage with Spring Rhapsodies. SMUCO celebrated its 15th year with GLOR1OU5 in 2023, performing to almost 700 people. Today, under the direction of Artistic Consultant Quek Ling Kiong and Principal Conductor Heng Xiangle, SMUCO continues to pursue its passion for Chinese Orchestral music, preserving traditions whilst incorporating contemporary influences, and endeavours to always deliver exceptional music to its audience.
