The collective, founded in September 2021, champions experimental, non-commercial sounds and provides a platform for both established

thrives on the collaborative energies of its diverse members.

tenure, he premiered the cello concerto Metaphysical North by Zhong Zhiyue, Associate Professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. He

productions by prominent local composers, including Mr. Law Wei Lun and Dr. Zechariah Goh.
