About Sembawang Symphonic Winds:
The Sembawang Symphonic Winds was
formed in February 2005 and inaugurated

Symphonic Winds’ parent band, the
Sembawang Wind Orchestra, under
Sembawang Community Club.
The Sembawang Symphonic Winds cater
mainly to youths between the ages of
thirteen and eighteen. Its formation is
to encourage community service through
music making.
The Sembawang Symphonic Winds envisions
to create an environment fostering
music appreciation and awareness, in
the process enhancing creativity and
thinking skills. In line with the
Ministry of Education’s call for young

community service, the Sembawang
Symphonic Winds aims to participate in
various community activities like
charity fund raisings, visits to old
folk homes and community outreach
programs and performances.
The Sembawang Symphonic Winds also
aspires to develop young musicians
towards musical excellence. It also
places a strong emphasis on character

cultural boundaries, to appreciate and
