Esplanade Presents

(Intermission: None)
Esplanade Concourse
Working with familiar melodies and well-known tunes, PB&J Collective approaches this material with care and curiosity, creating space to slow down, listen closely and notice what might usually pass by.
Rather than presenting tradition as nostalgia or spectacle, the music unfolds quietly, inviting presence and shared attention. In these intimate, unhurried listening environments, PB&J Collective hopes audiences can reconnect with familiar sounds in new ways, and reflect on memory, tradition and how cultural practices continue to change over time.
PB&J Collective
PB&J Collective is a Singapore-based music collective that examines contemporary possibilities within Chinese traditional music practices. Through an emphasis on intimacy, space and attentive listening, PB&J Collective seeks to gently interrupt fixed perceptions of Chinese traditional music, inviting audiences to encounter it as a living, evolving practice within Singapore’s cultural landscape.
Since producing its own music videos in 2021, the collective has participated in the National Arts Council Traditional Arts Residency 2024 and was invited by Mediacorp to perform for the Lunar New Year’s Eve Special 2025 countdown show. It continually finds new ways to present traditional sounds with care, curiosity and relevance.
