Asian Protégé Strikes a Chord: Concert Proceeds Amplify the Healing Power of Music at the Centre for Music and Health

We extend our deepest thanks and appreciation to Asian Protégé for their extraordinary generosity and vision in supporting the Centre for Music and Health (CMH) at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, NUS. The contribution will help support Southeast Asia’s first research centre to spearhead evidence-based practices that leverage the efficacy of music to support health and well-being.

Through their beautifully curated “Music Friends in Concert” coming up this December 3rd, 2025, Asian Protégé brings together talented musicians to not only to share the joy of music, but also to raise funds in support of CMH’s mission: advancing music-based research that promotes well-being, mental health, and social connection. Featuring performers as young as seven, the concert showcases more than just the next generation of talent, but also highlights how music can be a tool for empathy, healing, and connection.

The Asian Protégé will be donating all proceeds from this special concert to CMH, extending its impact beyond the centre and into the lives of individuals and communities across Singapore. CMH’s work spans diverse areas such as mental health, youth and student well-being, and healthy ageing, in both public health and healthcare contexts.

We are incredibly grateful to Asian Protégé, whose commitment and endeavour to bring this concert to fruition, reflects a deep understanding of the power of the arts to heal and transform lives. To John and Pauline Foo, the performers, families, volunteers, and all who have been and will be supporting the Music Friends in Concert: Thank you for contributing your effort and passion to champion the field of Arts and Health. Your generosity resonates in powerful ways - supporting research, fostering healing, and touching hearts.
