Chamber Orchestra – re:Sound

“As fine ensembles go, re:Sound is Singapore’s answer to London’s Academy of St Martin in the Fields.” – The Straits Times

Since its debut in 2016, re:Sound has firmly established itself as the finest conductorless chamber orchestra in Singapore, dedicated to the highest artistic excellence and leadership in chamber music.

Led by Artistic Director Mervin Beng and Associate Artistic Director / Concertmaster Yang Shuxiang, re:Sound prides itself in bringing to life masterpieces from Baroque and Classical to music of the future, delivering each work with purpose and passion. The orchestra comprises Singapore’s exceptional classical musicians, with a core of 21 musicians who pursue parallel careers as performers and educators.  

“…a thrilling, joyful evening of music-making from a group of excellent musicians near the height of their powers.” – The Straits Times

Guest soloists who have performed with re:Sound include pianist Stephen Hough, trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth, violinist Keila Wakao, cellist Qin Li-Wei and toy pianist Margaret Leng Tan.

In celebrating Singaporean music, the orchestra has performed, commissioned, and premiered music from Singaporean composers such as Jonathan Shin, Eric Watson and Tan Chan Boon.

The orchestra’s versatility has attracted various collaborators to make re:Sound and its musicians their orchestra of choice. Highlights of the 2025 season include the world premiere of a work by British composer Jonathan Dove, playing in the Singapore leg of Sigur Rós’ 2025 Orchestral World Tour, as well as working with American conductor-composer Arnie Roth to present works from the Final Fantasy Series in concert.
