10 August 2025 – The Singapore Chamber Music Festival (SCMF) welcomed homegrown talent Jonathan Ong, 1st Violinist of the Verona Quartet (USA), for a special workshop as part of the Chamber Continuum August Sessions.

Six young chamber groups and members of the public gathered to learn from Ong, who shared candid insights into the artistry and challenges of forming and sustaining a professional string quartet.

Throwback to our inaugural SCMF Chamber Continuum event, the Chamber Workshop with Jonathan Ong, held on 18 December 2024.

Jonathan returned to Singapore to share his expertise, working closely with two quartets in an engaging session at Bechstein Music World Singapore.

Resound Collective is delighted to announce the creation of the Chamber Continuum, a series of activities for chamber music enthusiasts, from learners to experienced amateurs and seasoned professionals.

The Singapore Chamber Music Festival 2024 concluded on 3 Feb after ten days of bringing together musicians from all ages to Connect, Share, and Celebrate the joy of chamber music.

We’d like to express our heartfelt thanks to the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music for their support in making this year’s SCMF a success. We thank YST Dean Peter Tornquist and Associate Dean Brett Stemple for their enthusiasm for the festival even from the early stages of planning, and the generous venue support, as well as the YST staff, who have assisted us in putting the festival rehearsals and concerts together.

Finally, thank you again to all sponsors, volunteers, academy participants, and concert attendees at SCMF 2024 for making this event possible. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2026!
