Every creative approaches art a little differently. Some imagine whole new worlds, some breathe life into ideas, and some challenge the status quo altogether. ​

Starting a new chapter can feel daunting, especially when it seems like everyone else is more certain, more experienced, or further ahead. ​

In reality, these feelings are a common part of every creative journey. Confidence is a muscle built through learning, experimenting, and adapting. ​

It's a mindset you'll build throughout your time at UAS. ​

What does Singapore sound like to a young composer? 🎶

The inaugural Mapletree Young Composers Initiative Performance & Award Ceremony brought together six student composers from LASALLE College of the Arts and NAFA, each presenting an original work inspired by the theme Essence of Singapore.

Selected from 20 submissions, the awardees developed their compositions through faculty mentorship before sharing their work with a live audience. Made possible through a collaboration with Mapletree (Mapletree Arts in the City) as part of its SG60 commemorations, the initiative provided meaningful opportunities for these emerging composers to develop their musical identity through mentorship, live performance and real-world experience.
