Sing! Men’s Chorus (SMC) proudly announces its 20th-anniversary celebration kicking off with a special launch party on May 30th, 2024. The event will showcase the choir’s milestones and offer a live preview of their upcoming anniversary concert in September.
SMC was established in 2005 to offer an opportunity for individuals interested in singing in an all-male choir and to introduce another form of choral music for public enjoyment. Throughout the 2 decades, the choir has slowly grown to nearly 60 alumni members and an average of over twenty active members each season.
Anniversary Concert Highlights Timeless Favourites and New Premieres
SMC’s 20th anniversary concert, “SMC Celebrates 20 Years of Timeless Harmony,” will spotlight iconic pieces from the choir’s rich history alongside exciting new additions. The concert promises to be a moving celebration of SMC’s dedication to pursuing authenticity in music-making, yet also injecting its own brand of quirky entertainment that has delighted audiences through the years.

A Legacy of Inclusivity and Community Building
For two decades, SMC has provided a safe and welcoming space for men of all backgrounds to express themselves through song. The choir’s commitment to inclusivity and fellowship has fostered a strong sense of community, enriching the lives of its members. The choir remains committed to supporting and uplifting communities in need, through its special brand of entertainment, which includes working with organisations such as The People’s Association, The Greenhouse, and Pink Dot. SMC has also represented the Singapore voice at the biennial Hand in Hand Festival, an Asian-based choral festival organised by Proud Voices Asia.The choir is dedicated to supporting the local community in all its diversity and promises to continue its legacy of joyful song for years to come.
In a time where acceptance, belonging and a sense of family are principal themes toward cultivating positive mental wellness (especially among men), SMC finds itself even more relevant today than when it was first founded.

Earthopia Fest 2026
2026-05-29 10:00 - 2026-05-31 22:00 | Fort Canning Green, 51 Canning Rise, Singapore, 179872, Singapore
As conversations around sustainability continue to grow in Singapore, Earthopia Fest 2026 is returning with a more immersive and community-driven experience designed to make climate action feel more accessible, creative and practical for everyday life.
Taking place from 29 to 31 May 2026 at Fort Canning Green, the three-day festival will bring together youth groups, green businesses, artists, wellness practitioners and sustainability advocates for a large-scale public event centred around conscious living, creativity and community engagement.
Organised by City Sprouts, the festival is expected to feature more than 100 content partners and over 5,000 participants across workshops, panel discussions, wellness sessions, performances and interactive installations.
A Sustainability Festival Designed for Everyday Living
Rather than presenting sustainability as something intimidating or expensive, Earthopia Fest 2026 aims to connect greener living with daily habits and lifestyle choices. Visitors can expect activities that explore sustainable fashion, food, wellness, urban farming, conscious consumption and low-waste living in approachable and engaging ways.
The festival programme includes hands-on eco workshops, guided tours, interactive games and community-led experiences that encourage visitors to rethink how sustainability can fit naturally into modern lifestyles.
One of the key highlights is the Earthling Exchange, which will showcase science fair exhibits, volunteer opportunities and climate innovation projects that encourage visitors to take action beyond the festival grounds.
Fashion and circular living will also play a major role through Circular Styles, a dedicated thrift and sustainable fashion zone exploring style, identity and consumption through a more environmentally conscious lens.
Wellness, Climate Conversations and Creative Expression
Beyond sustainability education, Earthopia Fest 2026 will also place strong emphasis on wellness and emotional resilience. Visitors can participate in gentle yoga, yin yoga, sound bowl healing and nature-inspired movement sessions throughout the festival.
Panel discussions curated with ecosystem partners and the Inter-University Environmental Coalition (IUEC) Singapore will cover topics such as climate pollution, urban heat resilience and nature-based solutions. The programme will also include conversations around climate anxiety, reflecting growing concerns about environmental stress and emotional wellbeing among younger generations.
The event will additionally feature a variety of live music performances, film screenings and community acts designed to make the festival feel more like a shared cultural experience rather than a traditional sustainability conference.
Art Installations Made From Waste Materials
Several large-scale art installations created from repurposed materials will also be displayed throughout the festival grounds.
Among them is Our Current Creatures, featuring floating jellyfish-inspired forms made from discarded plastic materials, as well as E-Fossil: A Warning From Our Time, an installation imagining what future generations may uncover from today’s e-waste and industrial consumption.
Other installations include SOAR, an upcycled bird sculpture made from discarded milk bottles, and Disposable Planet, a large Earth-inspired artwork constructed from colourful fabric scraps to spotlight circular fashion and textile waste.
Live Music and Weekend Performances
Music and entertainment will also be part of the festival experience, with a concert line-up featuring local acts such as Sobs, Heema Izzati, Club Mild, Shye and The Jukuleles on the evening of 30 May.
The wider programme will include performances by emerging artists, school groups and community performers across the three-day event. Film screenings and additional community programming are also planned for the final evening of the festival.
