Welcome Message
Dear Participants,
We are pleased to invite you to join us in the 9th Singapore Raffles International Music Festival (SRIMF) 2023.
The annual Singapore Raffles International Music Festival (SRIMF) has been a staple in the local and regional music calendar since 2014. SRIMF was established with the aim to provide a platform and opportunity for aspiring musicians. Through SRIMF Competition and events, we hope to uncover talents and unleash creativity amongst young musicians during Festival Programs and help them enjoy music and achieve more in their music journey.
Despite the pandemic which greatly affected music events worldwide, we are inspired by the multitude of virtual collaborations that occurred over the last two years which kept the music spirit alive and strong. The 8th edition (2022) of SRIMF was conducted in Live & Virtual competition format. This allowed participants of all nationalities and cultures to come forth to present their craft and share their love of music. We are very grateful to provide an International performing stage for 650+ participants from 24 countries.
The International Jury Panel consisted of Prof. Johannes Marian (Head of Ludwig van Beethoven Department of Piano in The University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna), Prof. Pei-Chi Hong( Head of Piano study in Tainan National University of the Arts), Prof. Siow Lee Chin (Associate Professor of Violin at College of Charleston USA), Mr. Eric Watson (Composer & Singapore Cultural Medallion award), Mr. Ryan Lewis (ABRSM Consultant in the South & East Asia Regional) and Prof. Nanette Chen (Head of Department of Music at the National Taiwan Normal University), Mr. Anders Hui (Associated Concertmaster of HK Philharmonic) and Ms. Zhao Yingna (Principal 2nd Violin of HK Philharmonic)
