Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s beautifully bizarre hybrids take visitors on an unusual, fascinating and emotional journey in celebration of all that is different.
Founded in 2003, the Conservatory quickly established a reputation as Asia’s most exciting international conservatory by bringing together a world-class faculty and facility to develop excellence in instrumental performance and composition. Building on this strong foundation, the Conservatory has evolved over the past decade to become one of the world’s most distinctive music schools, diversifying its offerings and continually seeking to connect authentically with its surrounding community. Specialisations added subsequently include Voice, Audio Arts & Sciences, Conducting, Music & Society and Music, Collaboration & Production. Alongside students from Singapore, the Conservatory community is internationally diverse, with representation from over 20 countries and five continents.
With excellence, inclusion, community, agency and identity as key drivers, the Conservatory seeks to nurture aspirant professional musicians while giving greater musical resonance in the broader ecosystem. Holding “Listen in New Light” as a core guiding principle connecting its past, present and future endeavours, the Conservatory is well-positioned to lead change in music and higher music education in the 21st century, (re)imagining new possibilities as it continues to evolve a unique trajectory.
Following the festival’s success, Adeline together with the Malaysia Composers Collective was responsible for curating the nation’s first ever anthology of 21st Century piano scores, published as Free Hand Anthology I and distributed by Faber Music internationally.
Graduating from the Eastman School of Music and Royal College of Music London, Adeline's works have been performed by the Belgian National Orchestra, Orkest de ereprijs, the Netherlands, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra amongst others.
