ABOUT US

The Asian Cultural Symphony Orchestra (ACSO) was formed in early 2016 with the aim of championing Asian cultural music and symphonic works composed in an Asian aesthetic that go beyond mere melodic and instrumentational pastiche, celebrating them with equal regard to their Western counterparts. Based in Singapore, the ACSO also seeks to serve as a platform to showcase Singaporean talents.

The ACSO is an orchestra comprising of over 80 musicians from various backgrounds who are primarily trained in Western classical music. The ACSO provides an avenue for its musicians to explore Asian symphonic music, which is not part of the typical programming of most symphony orchestras, even ones that are based in Asia.

The ACSO hopes to bring Asian symphonic music to a wider audience, and that it will be enjoyed by audiences for generations to come.

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。
