Programmes
New Sights Fellowship Programme
The New Sights Fellowship Programme (NSFP) is a development platform for composers and performers to deepen their practice in intercultural music through sustained engagement with Singapore's diverse musical traditions.
The programme prioritises process over product. Rather than approaching multicultural music through one-off collaborations or the surface use of cultural musical elements, participants spend an extended period listening, learning, experimenting and making music with cultural practitioners and musicians from different backgrounds.
Our Flagship Ensemble - The Straits Ensemble
Music of The Straits Ensemble
The Straits Ensemble is Pasat Merdu’s flagship ensemble.
The Straits Ensemble is a musical collective that champions Singapore cultural music exchanges, influenced by the ever-changing global music landscape and jazz sensibilities.
With an instrumentation that embodies Singapore's cultural sound, The Straits Ensemble navigates the
rich tapestry of Singapore's heritage and taps on a global kampung spirit to celebrate diversity.
The Straits Ensemble aims to deepen intercultural understanding through Teaching Artistry and
present a distinctive Singaporean sound on the world stage.
