The biennial National Piano & Violin Competition attracted more than 274 entries in 2007 and it
has been increasing with each competition. It also reaches out to a large local and regional audience. It is dedicated to
develop the performing skills of our young talents and to raise the standards of musicianship. Furthermore, it is the only
platform that offers talented young Singapore musicians to compete at a national level, and to perform before an
international jury.
This competition has successfully discovered and produced talents such as the T'ang Quartet and
Lee Huei Min (the first young Asian classical violinist to recently sign a recording contract with Universal). Several other
identified young talents have gone onto pursue music studies in renowned music institutions such as The Yehudi Menuhin School
(UK), Chetham's School of Music (UK) and Peabody Conservatory (US).
The National Piano & Violin Competition 2009 will
be held in December 2009.

immediate showcase of their proficiency at the Prize Winners’ Concert.
The Competition is organised by the National
Arts Council to develop and upgrade Singapore musicians’ standards and skills, as well as to identify potential talents in
Indian music. It also provides opportunities for musicians to perform in a competitive situation, help nurture the talent
pool for Indian music in Singapore and sustain the interest and appreciation of this ethnic art form. It attracts over 60
entries and reaches out to more than 1000 audiences each time.

increase in the number of entries to a total of 378 participants in year 2008. The standard of the competition has also
increased with winners performing better repertoires and impressing judges with their skills.

Music Competition has been gaining prominence in the Singapore Chinese music scene and it reaches out to more than 3,000

Fondly remembered by arts lovers and the arts community, the Drama Centre will soon return bigger and better, with
the latest state-of-the art theatre facilities. Occupying the 2nd to 6th storeys of the National Library building, the new
Drama Centre is set to become the landmark focal point for the arts. Its location within the library is a perfect
demonstration of our vision for a "Creative and Connected Singapore".
Built to effectively meet the need for a
dedicated purpose-built mid-sized theatre in Singapore, the new Drama Centre offers a theatre, a black box, a VIP Lounge and
three multi-purpose function areas.
The theatre has 615 seats and features modern audio, visual and lighting
equipment. There is also a full power fly system for scenery, the first in Singapore for a mid-sized theatre. The black box
is a cosy space with flexibility for artists to configure based on their production needs, and the multi-purpose rooms may be
utilised for seminars, meetings, art exhibitions and private functions.
To encourage and support our artists and arts
groups, we intend to keep the rental of the Drama Centre affordable while sustaining the operation of the venue as viably as
we can. We therefore aim to raise $20 mil over the next 10 years to meet these objectives.

National Arts Council's Arts Adoption initiative matches prospective Sponsors with local Arts Groups that
have similar visions, missions and objectives. Benefits of the scheme:
- Fantastic branding and association opportunity with the arts and the arts group
- Good corporate citizenry - increasingly important in a socially-conscious generation
- One complimentary performance/exhibition staged for sponsor's corporate event
- Premium acknowledgement in all the performances and exhibitions staged by the arts groups. (Exact details of
acknowledgements to be worked out with respective arts groups and performance/event)
- Recognised under national Patron of the Arts Award
- Double-tax deduction (Applicable for cash sponsorship only)
Developing and growing our local talents
development is vital. We need to constantly nurture and spur our artists to greater heights of artistic achievements.
Achieving this takes much effort, time, inspiration, ideas and finances. Many a time, local arts groups face high operation
costs, over and above cost required for staging performances and exhibitions. This scheme helps to ease their financial
strain in order for them to concentrate on artistic development.
In addition to cash, your company could also impart
expertise such as marketing, corporate communications and human resource to the adopted arts group. The partnership would
also allow both the company and arts groups to grow together.
