ABOUT US
THE ACSO
The Asian Cultural Symphony Orchestra (ACSO) is a Singaporean-based orchestra established in 2016. With the aim of championing the unique blend of Asian cultural music and symphonic works, we celebrate it’s depth and artistry with the same reverence as Western classical masterpieces. The ACSO showcases the nation’s multicultural heritage through its innovative fusion of Eastern and Western musical traditions, fostering a global appreciation for the arts.
Comprising over 80 musicians from diverse backgrounds, primarily trained in Western classical music, the ACSO provides a dynamic platform for exploring Asian symphonic compositions—an underrepresented genre in traditional orchestral programming, even within Asia. By doing so, the orchestra bridges cultures, captivates diverse audiences, and enriches Singapore’s cultural landscape.
The ACSO strives to be a leading cultural institution, inspiring audiences of all generations and championing the appreciation of Asian symphonic music worldwide. Our vision is to see this art form enjoyed for years to come, uniting people through the universal language of music.
亚洲文化乐团于2016年初成立,乐团的成立旨在演绎与发扬亚洲元素的交响乐、为新加坡的音乐界人才提供交流与展示的平台。乐团致力于挖掘和推广亚洲音乐及亚裔作曲家,使其能在世界音乐界获得更高的声誉。
亚洲文化乐团由80多位来自不同背景的音乐爱好者组成,其中大部分人受的是西洋古典音乐的熏陶。亚洲交响乐作品在世界多数交响乐团甚至是亚洲的交响乐团都不是保留曲目,而亚洲文化乐团则为其成员提供了接触亚洲交响乐的一个绝好的渠道。
亚洲文化乐团希望将亚洲交响乐作品带给更多的观众群体,甚至给后世留下一笔宝贵的、属于亚洲人自己的音乐遗产。
