Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) is proud to present SG60 Weekend: A Community Celebrates, a vibrant two-day cultural celebration co-organised with Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) and SCCC’s arts residents to commemorate Singapore’s 60th birthday. Taking place from 28 to 29 June 2025, this event transforms the SCCC and Singapore Conference Hall into buzzing hubs of Chinese arts, culture and heritage.
For the first time, SCCC has curated a free open house event where the public will have the rare opportunity to go behind the scenes, participate in hands-on activities, and interact with SCCC’s participating arts residents comprising Drum Feng, Reverberance, Tampines Arts Troupe and Nam Hwa Opera.
This special weekend also brings together family-friendly performances, hands-on workshops, and ticketed showcases by local Chinese arts and cultural groups and key programme highlights would include:

The Story Keepers: A free interactive theatre experience for children featuring well-known myths of Singapore such as the tales of Kusu Island, Redhill and Radin Mas.

Ode to Singapore by SCO: A free musical tribute celebrating six decades of unity and growth and showcasing selected artworks by 60 young children which depicts their imagined future for Singapore.

Taking Flight 2025: A ticketed vibrant and youthful dance performance by dancers from the Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre.

“SG60 Weekend is the first joint effort by SCCC, SCO, our arts residents, and local arts and cultural groups to come together and commemorate our nation’s 60th birthday by opening up our arts spaces, staging performances and workshops, and showcasing local Chinese arts and culture. Through our programmes and activities, we hope that the public will get to know our local arts groups better, enjoy their cultural encounters, and become fans and friends of these groups,” said Alvin Tan, Chief Executive Officer of SCCC.
Terence Ho, Executive Director of Singapore Chinese Orchestra shared, “SCO and SCCC share similar missions – to inspire our people with the beauty of Chinese arts and culture. SCO’s gift to the nation is Ode to Singapore, a two-day concert all about Singapore! The Sunday show is specially dedicated to our migrant workers, the silent heroes contributing to nation building.”
Goh Wei Hong, Executive Director of Reverberance, said, “We’re honoured to be one of the arts residents at the SCCC starting this year. This is a meaningful step forward as we continue to champion Chinese wind and percussion music through innovative work. We’re also excited to share this passion with the public at the upcoming open house event through an engaging, hands-on experience.”
Zhang Tian Xiao, Artistic Instructor of Nam Hwa Opera, added, “We are happy to be part of the SG60 Weekend festival and to continue sharing the beauty of Teochew opera as a long-time arts tenant at SCCC. This celebration reminds us of our belief that the fusion of tradition and innovation will write an even more brilliant chapter for Singapore’s cultural future.”
Whether you’re a parent looking for meaningful weekend activities, an avid lover of performing arts, or someone exploring local Chinese arts and culture for the first time, SG60 Weekend: A Community Celebrates promises an inclusive and inspiring experience for all.

Moving Mountain 移山
2025-07-11 15:00 - 2025-07-12 22:00 | Blackbox, 42 Waterloo Street, Singapore, 187951, Singapore
Moving Mountain is a reflective performance blending live music, poetic storytelling, and sound meditation.
A modern retelling of an ancient folktale, it follows a humble old man who begins digging a mountain, not to conquer it, but to change what is possible. Told through the eyes of a bird who witnesses generations come and go, this intimate experience honours the unseen resilience of our elders and the quiet strength passed through families. Rooted in the lived realities of Singapore’s early migrant communities, the performance draws parallels between myth and memory. Featuring the tender sounds of the ruan and healing vibrations of the singing bowls, the piece invites audiences to slow down, remember, and reconnect with the past, each other, and the stories we carry.
《移山》是一场融合现场音乐、诗意叙述与声音冥想的静心演出。故事取材自古老传说，一位老人开始移山，不为征服，而是为了改变可能的方向。透过一只代代传承故事的鸟儿，让观众感受到长辈们无声的坚韧与家庭中流转的力量。演出亦根植于新加坡早期移民群体的真实经历，在神话与记忆之间建立桥梁。阮与颂钵交织出的声音，唤起内在记忆，邀请我们放慢脚步，凝视过去，重拾彼此的连结。
Note: Performance is in English.
Event Dates: 11 & 12 July 2025
Venue: Blackbox, 42 Waterloo Street

Hidden from the noise of the outside world, nestled within the stillness of chosen family, lies Camp Ori_, a sacred ground where warriors of the rainbow train in the art of becoming.
This is no ordinary camp.
This is a dojo, a place of discipline, discovery, and deep connection.
Here, queer youth do not merely gather; they awaken.
Under the watchful eye of the Grandmaster of Ori_ and guided by a circle of dedicated masters, each warrior is invited to step into their own power.
From battles of the mind to celebrations of the soul, every moment is a training ground for truth, resilience, and joy.
At Camp Ori_, labels are shed like worn-out armor.
Here, the only uniform is authenticity.
Every camper is seen not for who they were told to be, but for the boundless potential they already hold within.
This is the Way of Ori_.
This is the path of the queer ninja.
And this is where the journey begins.

Sex-positive comedy uses humor to explore human sexuality in a respectful, affirming, and inclusive way.

Embrace Sex Positivity: The show must promote a healthy and open-minded attitude towards sexuality. Comedians are advised to approach the topic of sex with respect, inclusivity, and positivity.
No Hate Speech: Jokes or comments that perpetuate sexism, racism, or discrimination of any kind are strictly prohibited. The show values diversity and inclusivity.
Respect Boundaries: While the show is about sex positivity, it’s important for comedians to respect the boundaries of the audience. They must avoid explicit content that may make individuals uncomfortable.
Consent is Key: Comedy must never make light of issues related to consent or sexual assault. Any jokes on these topics should be handled with sensitivity and awareness.
Celebrate Diversity: Comedians are advised to celebrate diverse perspectives on sexuality and gender identity. The show must be a safe space for all individuals regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

2025-07-19 14:00 - 17:00 | Hey Taylor Clinic, 160 Robinson Rd, #04-09 SBF Medical Suites, Singapore, 068914, Singapore
Your 40s can feel like uncharted territory—your body is changing, your priorities are shifting, and suddenly, the tools that used to work no longer fit.
Do any of these sound familiar?

“Why am I gaining weight even though I eat the same?”
“What’s going on with my skin, hair, or sex drive?”
“How do I manage these mood swings or hot flashes without losing my mind?”

Fab 40s is for women who are ready to stop silently struggling and start confidently navigating this next chapter—with support, knowledge, and joy.
This is an empowering, interactive afternoon created by three women in our 40s—and we’re living proof that this decade can be one of growth, strength, sexiness, and wholeness. Whether you’re experiencing perimenopause, juggling multiple roles, feeling disconnected from your body or libido—or just want to feel more you again—this event is for you.
You’ll leave with:
✔️ Practical tools to feel stronger, lighter, and more energized
✔️ Permission to own your changing body, sexuality, and needs
✔️ Easy self-care practices that actually work in real life
✔️ A renewed sense of connection—with yourself and others
Partners are welcome—because these shifts impact relationships too. And when your loved ones learn alongside you, the support becomes even more powerful.
🧭 This event is for you if:

You’re a woman in your 40s (or approaching it) and feel like your body or emotions are changing in ways you don’t fully understand
You want expert guidance in a relaxed, non-judgmental space
You’re curious about how to support your hormones, sensuality, and mood without burning out
You’re tired of faking it—emotionally, mentally, or sexually—and ready to thrive instead

❓Ask yourself:

Am I finally ready to stop ignoring what my body is telling me?
Do I want to reconnect with my confidence, vitality, and sensuality?
What would change if I stopped doing this alone?

If you felt a yes, even a whisper—this event is for you.

Rediscovering Chinese Music: A Tribute to Singapore’s Chinese Orchestra Music Pioneers
2025-08-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, 1 Straits Boulevard, 018906, Singapore
As part of SG60 celebrations, Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) will present Rediscovering Chinese Music on 24 August 2025. First presented digitally in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic, this meaningful concert will be performed live this time to commemorate the passion, resilience, and artistry of our pioneers in the Chinese orchestral music scene in Singapore during the 1950s to the 1970s.
During a period with few resources and limited access to scores, these early musicians displayed the spirit of perseverance and dedication through transcribing music by ear, learning from recordings and attempting their own arrangements. The concert seeks to honour this legacy by reviving the spirit and sounds of a generation that laid the foundation of Singapore’s Chinese orchestral music scene.
The concert will feature three generations of Chinese orchestra musicians performing on the same stage, including members from the 1970s iteration of the independent ensemble, Chang Chun Chinese Orchestra, such as Tng Kin Seng and Choo Boon Chong, both of whom have served as principal or associate principal players with Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra; current and former members of Singapore Chinese Orchestra; as well as a new generation of outstanding young musicians. This homecoming concert with a multi-generational line-up not only embodies professional excellence, but also symbolises the continued passing down of Chinese orchestral music from veterans to the young.
The concert’s repertoire will include classic works which were widely performed and beloved in that era, including ensemble pieces, instrumental solos and vocal performances. Audiences can look forward to nostalgic favourites such as Joyous Celebration, Song of Joy, Spring Water Flowing and Scenery of Guilin. Each work has been meticulously arranged or transcribed by Phoon Yew Tien, one of Singapore’s foremost Chinese music composers and scholars.
Concert producer Mr Phoon Yew Tien said, “We hope that this concert will allow more people to gain a deeper understanding of the Chinese orchestral music scene in this region during the 1950s to 1970s. To recreate the experience of the past more accurately, this concert not only strives for authenticity in performance but also deliberately emulates the programming style of Chinese orchestral concerts during that era.”
Tickets are available on SISTIC at S$20 (including GST and booking fee) from 21 July 2025 (10.00am) to 24 August 2025 (6.00pm), with early bird discount of 30% from 21 July 2025 (10.00am) to 28 July 2025 (11.59pm).

Woosa “Archipelago of Dreams” Pop-up
Date: 8 – 14 September 2025
Time: 10am – 10pm daily (9pm on final day)
Location: Jurong Point 1 Centre Stage

The pop-up is designed as an immersive Dreamscape, with a central platform mimicking an archipelago of islands. Guests can wander between islands, feeling the textures of each mattress and imagining their own ideal sleep environment.
They are invited to embark on a journey of dreams, with the opportunity to win a 2D1N stay at the exclusive Oasia x Woosa Suite at Oasia Hotel Downtown — a true escape of comfort and relaxation — by inscribing their aspirations on island-inspired post-its and placing them upon the archipelago map wall, followed by scanning the QR code displayed on the poster.
Second and third prize recipients will also be awarded with indulgent treatments at Oasia Spa Sentosa vouchers, a lush retreat that invites guests to relax, rejuvenate, and immerse themselves in the serene island ambiance.

Each mattress island at the Archipelago of Dreams offers a distinct sleeping experience, designed to suit different preferences and lifestyles. Guests are invited to explore the textures and support of each mattress, and can take a QR-code quiz at the pop-up to discover their personalised island of comfort. Their result card will entitle them to a special offer: With any purchase of a Woosa Pillow (Standard, Low, or Contour) at Jurong Point, they can receive a complimentary Woosa Midnight Rain Sleep Balm (worth $25), while stocks last.

At the Archipelago of Dreams pop-up, shoppers can enjoy up to 15% off their dream bed, making it the perfect opportunity to discover a mattress that suits their personal sleep styles.
