Call for Proposals: “Resonates With” at NGS



The Composers Society of Singapore (“CSS”) is hosting a call for proposals for “Resonates With”, a series of performances of music by living Singaporean or Singapore-based composers, held at the National Gallery Singapore (NGS).

Important Details

  • We are curating programs for the events as below:

    • Rooftop Commission: Cao Fei: 26 July 2020 (Su) More information about the work, 浮槎 Fú Chá can be found in the link below.

    • Each program will be performed three times that day at the following times:

      • 2 PM – 2.30 PM

      • 3 PM – 3.30 PM

      • 4 PM – 4.30 PM



  • Selected proposals will receive a modest fee to aid in production/musician/composer etc. costs

  • You may propose programs that last approximately 30 min in length, and each program must include at least one work by a living Singaporean or Singapore-based composer

  • Backup plans in case the Gallery is closed to the public:

    • Should we all be able to physically enter the Gallery, the event will take place at the roof garden and will be live-streamed. If so, there only needs to be performed once.

    • Should we not be able to physically enter the Gallery, the team should perform and live-stream the program from their homes/studios. The Gallery will make the necessary arrangements to host this on one of their social media platforms.


  • Applications will be considered from any composer, performer or creative collaborator, as long as at least one person on the project team is a CSS full member, student member or associate member.

Please submit:

  • A proposal (no more than 1 page) should include:

    • How the program relates to the program’s theme/artwork

    • The approximate duration of your proposed program

      • Programs should be approximately 30 min in length


  • The composers, works and performers for the program

    • Each program must include at least one work by a living Singaporean or Singapore-based composer
