Artistic Innovation
Marked by innovation and excellence at its creative core, the company continues to build a uniquely Singaporean musical identity with The TENG Ensemble. Since its inception, the company has produced several original and adapted works and projects that strive to reinvent perceptions of Chinese music and stretch the art form beyond its traditional roots.
Industry Empowerment

Learners are encouraged to continue honing their skills through TENG’s educational offerings, network and performance platforms.

The company also produces and conducts research into music created specially to promote mental wellness. TENG is proud to be a member of the National Council of Social Service.
