This was the Opening Concert (Monday, 8 December 2025) of the 5-day symposium (8-12 December 2025) organised by Healing Arts Singapore in conjunction with the Centre of Music and Health based in Yong Siew Toh Conservatory. There was lots of music performed, and here are some of the photos from a colourfully varied concert.
 |
| Opening the evening were excerpts from Chen Zhangyi's opera Lily, a probing work about the ravages of dementia. |
 |
| Soprano Wong Su Sun played the role of Lily, a singing teacher alongside her son, sung by tenor Jonathan Charles Tay. |
 |
| Singapore's only hearing-impaired concert pianist Azariah Tan related how his performance of Beethoven roused a patient with dementia. |
 |
| Here Azariah Tan performed the first movement from Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.5 "Emperor". |
 |
| It was a reading of true grandeur, which he mastered in a matter of a few weeks! |
 |
| Applause alongside YST Orchestral Institute conductor Jason Lai. |
 |
| Seeding The Floor - performing mindfulness of everyday by Arts Fission |
 |
| Movement and plants. |
 |
| Finding beauty in the mundane. |
 |
| The pastoral setting was telling: country folks are happier people. |
 |
| Musicians from Beautiful Mind Charity and YST Orchestral Institute perform popular tunes. |
 |
| Teng Ensemble joins the fray. Young Artist Award recipient Syafiqah Sallehin plays the accordion in Chow Junyi's Journey with Geylang Sipaku Geylang and Rasa Sayang. |
