About Campaign

ends 31 Dec 2020, 11:59 PM

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has affected many industries and communities. The arts is no exception. As live productions in Singapore cannot carry on, the way that audiences are used to appreciating the arts has now been shifted.

In order to continue with the mission of Siong Leng Musical Association, we have brought our artform onto several social media platforms. We hope that you will appreciate our efforts for presenting Nanyin through different platforms to you and the community during this period of time.

We call for your unwavering support and encouragement towards our young local artists who are working extremely hard through online lessons to carry on with the preservation and development of this ancient art form.

To ensure that the musicians maintain close relations other Nanyin musicians over the World, keep up with the development of Nanyin and to share the work that SLMA does, the company also participates regularly in the International Nanyin Symposiums held around Asia, to contribute to the efforts in promoting and developing the ancient art form.
