The Purple Symphony, facilitated by the Central Singapore Community Development Council, debuted in 2015 as Singapore’s largest inclusive orchestra.

 

Comprising over 100 musicians with and without disabilities, the orchestra brings together five key sections: bowed and plucked strings, percussion, winds and choir.

 

More than a musical platform, The Purple Symphony fosters learning, collaboration and the celebration of abilities. It champions inclusion while uniting musicians to share their love of music and serve the community as one.
