Synopsis

Inch is an Singaporean award-winning multi-disciplinary artist of music, theatre, technology and immersive experiences with an eclectic sonic palette. With music as her first love, Inch rallies a special line-up of guest musicians and vocalists. Songsmith is made up of singer-songwriters, musicians, and a producer who will take students on a sonic and visual journey through Singaporean songs and songwriting – from its humble beginnings to the here and now.

This programme aims to provide students with a fresh perspective and a deeper understanding of Singaporean music, the art of music-making, and the power of storytelling.

Commissioned in 2023 by National Arts Council in partnership with Ministry of Education as part of Performing Arts-Based Learning (PABL).
