World-renowned
artists to work with Singapore’s top young musicians through LANXESS-SNYO
Classic mentoring programme
Nothing speaks to the future of Singapore more eloquently than the beautiful
music of the Singapore National Youth Orchestra. And now, German specialty
chemicals company LANXESS is pleased to announce the three-year LANXESS SNYO
Classic programme – a mentorship and cultural exchange initiative that will
enable these young talented people to learn from and perform with world-renowned
classical musicians.
Each year, a prominent artist will travel to Singapore to work closely with the
orchestra, then perform together in a major concert. Annually, we will select
three top SNYO students to study abroad with major artists.
The LANXESS SNYO Classic is part of a series of artistic and educational
initiatives by LANXESS to build bridges between Germany, Europe and Asia, and to
enhance our role as a good neighbor in the communities in which we live and
work.
LANXESS, which will break ground for Asia’s most modern rubber plant on Jurong
Island, is proud to be part of Singapore’s bright economic future. We are
equally proud to play a role in Singapore’s rich cultural life and in the future
success of talented young musicians.
Following the successful inaugural LANXESS-SNYO Classic concert in November 2010
with Stewart Rose, the SNYO had the privilege to perform with violin virtuoso,
Lara St. John in April 2011.
