4 主席献词 CHAIRMAN S MESSAGE Year 2015/2016 was a meaningful year for SCO. In 2015, Singapore celebrated SG50, SCO commemorated our nation s 50th year of independence with a tribute concert Towards the Future - SCO celebrates SG50. SCO commissioned local composers Eric Watson and Law Wai Lun to compose brand new pieces specially for the event. The songs expound Singaporeans strong sense of love and identify they feel for their home and nation. Among them, Watson s An Independent Note evoked memories of the hardships Singapore went through during our nation building days among the audience. In 2015/2016 season, SCO invited many renowned musicians from overseas to collaborate with us, including Taiwanese conductor Chen Tscheng-Hsiung, percussionist Evelyn Glennie, China erhu musician Yu Hong Mei and pianist Sun Yingdi. In October 2015, SCO performed two concerts in Hong Kong at the Tsuen Wan Town Hall and Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth as part of the Titian Budaya Singapore cultural season in Kuala Lumpur, SCO also held its debut concert in Malaysia at the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. These international platforms provided SCO with the opportunities to showcase their unique Singapore and Nanyang flavour music, propelling it to the forefront of the international music arena. To promote Chinese orchestral music, SCO organised the Singapore International Competition for Chinese Orchestral Composition (SICCOC) in In 2015, the competition into its third series attracted 125 international composers and a total of 184 compositions. Through this competition, we continue to promote and encourage Chinese orchestral pieces inspired by traits of Singapore and Nanyang flavour, and at the same time, offered them as a tribute to Singapore s golden jubilee. Under the leadership of our music director Tsung Yeh, SCO gradually established its name on the international stage. Since coming onboard in 2002, Tsung Yeh has led SCO on a continuous progress. We are glad that Maestro Yeh will extend his contract as SCO music director till Our continued efforts to reach out to the community have also broadened with our extensive concerts specially programmed for the community, working professionals, young musicians, students and the special needs community. We thank our sponsors and donors for their generous sponsorships and support, and Friends of SCO and concert audience for their unwavering support and friendship, which help us to realize these outreach and education programmes. We also express our appreciation to our Patron, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, for his support and encouragement over the years. With all these support, we have managed to raise a total of $1,159,000 during our Fundraising Gala Dinner and Concert A Resounding Golden Jubilee. In 2017, with SCO 20th anniversary celebration coming to an end, we promise to continuously strive for excellence in our performances, bringing you extraordinary music experience of high quality, and at the same time, music that appeal to the masses as well.

14 行政总监的营运报告 OPERATIONS REVIEW BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Terence Ho 何偉山 INCOME Overall, FY15/16 has been a good year for the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) with income standing at $ million. Despite the strong income holding of $ million in FY14/15, where the Company held a mega concert Our People, Our Music that had boost donation and performance income for FY14/15, the total income for FY15/16 has only dipped slightly. Grant continues to be the main contributor to the Company s income, standing at 69.8%. The 2.5% decrease in total income in FY15/16 was mainly attributable to investment income. The market conditions in FY15/16 had deteriorated quite substantially, causing investment income to decrease from $3.48 million in FY14/15 to $1.68 million in FY15/16. $ TOTAL INCOME (S$M) 总收入 $ 收入 整体来说,2015/16 财政年度对新加坡华乐团 (SCO) 是个好年头, 取得了 2148 万 2 千元的收入 由于公司在 2014/15 财政年举办了一场大型音乐会 全民共乐, 使到公司的捐款和演出门票收入增加, 报 2202 万 8 千元 尽管如此, 公司在 2015/16 财政年的总收入只是略为下跌 政府津贴继续是公司主要收入来源, 占公司总收入的 69.8% 2015/16 财政年的总收入减少 2.5%, 主要是因为投资收入减少 在 2015/16 财政年, 由于市场状况严重恶化, 导致投资收入从 2014/15 财政年的 348 万元, 在 2015/16 财政年跌至 168 万元 FY15/16 FY14/15 FY15/16 SOURCES OF INCOME 收入分析 69.8% 5.9% 5.5% 6.4% 7.8% 4.3% 0.3% Govt Grant 政府津贴 Public Donations 捐款 Fundraising 筹款 Rental Income 租金收入 Investment Income 投资收入 Performance Income 演出收入 Others 其它收入 FY14/15 SOURCES OF INCOME 收入分析 58.2% 15.8% 8.5% 4.9% 8.2% 3.9% 0.5% Govt Grant 政府津贴 Public Donations 捐款 Fundraising 筹款 Rental Income 租金收入 Investment Income 投资收入 Performance Income 演出收入 Others 其它收入 12

15 ANNUAL REPORT 年报 FY 2015/2016 GOVERNMENT GRANT The Company continues to receive strong financial support from various government bodies which made the daily operation sustainable. It also allowed us to keep our ticket pricing low so that it is more accessible to the public. Grants from the National Arts Council (NAC) and the Singapore Totalisator Board (STB) constitute the largest source of SCO s fund. In FY15/16, $14.99 million or 69.8% of SCO s total income came from government grants, compared to $12.81 million received in the previous year. The increase in grant income was due to an additional $1 million grant ($1 million was given in FY14/15 and $2 million was given in FY15/16) given by NAC to assist the Company in enhancing its effort in outreach and audience development. This was part of the Arts and Culture Strategic Review s objective to build up the capacity of national arts companies as peaks of excellence. GOVERNMENT GRANT (S$M) 政府津贴 $14.99 $12.81 In addition, SCO had taken over the operations of the Singapore Youth Chinese Orchestra (SYCO) from Ministry of Education with funding from the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) in FY15/16. A grant of $300,000 would be given to SCO for the operation of SYCO annually. The grant covers expenses such as masterclass, music theory, sectional and individual instrumental tuition, teambuilding and maintenance of instruments. FY15/16 FY14/15 政府津贴 公司继续获得各个政府机构强有力的财务支持, 使到公司日常业务取得可持续发展 这些津贴也让公司票价维持低价位, 让公众更容易接触到公司演出 来自国家艺术理事会和新加坡赛马博彩管理局的资助仍旧是华乐团资金的最大来源 在 2015/16 财政年, 华乐团总收入中有 1499 万元或 69.8% 是来自政府拨款, 而 2014/15 财政年则是 1281 万元 拨款增加是由于国家艺术理事会给予额外 100 万元的拨款 (2014/15 财政年是 100 万元,2015/16 财政年是 200 万元 ), 以协助公司加强观众拓展工作 这是政府艺术与文化策略检讨报告目标之一, 旨在提高我国艺术公司能力, 攀升卓越艺术顶峰 此外, 华乐团在 2015/16 财政年从教育部手中接过新加坡青年华乐团的运营工作, 并获得文化 社区及青年部的资助 华乐团每年获得 30 万元资助, 用于青年华乐团的运营 这包括大师班 音乐理论 小组和个人器乐学费, 团队建设和器乐维修等开支 PUBLIC DONATIONS FY15/16 sees a dip in public donation as compared to FY14/15 where SCO s China Concert Tour and mega concert Our People, Our Music secured substantial amount of donations. Even though there was a decrease in public donations, SCO continued to receive generous donations from various organisations and individuals. 公众捐款 2015/16 财政年的公众捐款, 相比 2014/15 财政年有所下滑, 这是因为 2014/15 财政年华乐团的中国巡演音乐会和 全民共乐 大型音乐会取得大笔捐款 虽然公众捐款减少了, 但华乐团继续获得各个组织及个人的慷慨捐款 PUBLIC DONATIONS (S$M) 公众捐款 $1.27 $1.88 FY15/16 FY14/15 13

16 FUNDRAISING Under the well managed leadership of the fundraising organising committee chairperson, Mrs Goh Chok Tong and continued support from generous donors, SCO has achieved another successful fundraising gala dinner in FY15/16 with a total raised income of $1.18 million. In addition, included in the current year s fundraising gala dinner was an auction of a painting donated by Mr Chan Kok Hua. The auction managed to fetch a total sum of $60,000 for the Company. $1.18 FUNDRAISING (S$M) 筹款 $1.09 筹款 在筹款委员会主席吴作栋夫人的出色领导, 以及慷慨捐助者的持续支持下, 华乐团 2015/16 财政年的筹款晚宴再次获得成功, 总共筹得 118 万元 今年的筹款晚宴也包括由曾国和先生捐赠的画作拍卖, 为公司筹得 6 万元款项 FY15/16 FY14/15 RENTAL INCOME The decrease in rental income was attributed to turnover of office tenant in Singapore Conference Hall (SCH). The surrounding construction works around SCH made it a challenge to attract new tenant. Nevertheless, management would put in the best effort in sourcing for potential tenants. 租金收入 租金收入减少是因新加坡大会堂的办公租户更换 新加坡大会堂周围的建筑工程, 也对华乐团吸引新租户带来一些挑战 尽管如此, 管理层将尽力寻找潜在租户 RENTAL INCOME (S$M) 租金收入 $1.37 $1.81 FY15/16 FY14/15 INVESTMENT INCOME FY2015/16 had been a very volatile year resulting in the dip in investment income. There was the divergence of monetary policy globally with global markets having to grapple with the destabilising influences of a strong US dollar and tumbling oil prices. Emerging markets had also suffered during 2015 due to the negative macro environment. The Chinese share market debacle coupled with shock moves from the PBOC had also highlighted a growing trend - political risk and its impact on markets around the world. Lastly, geopolitical risk had also become ever more important in 2015, as the migrant crisis in Europe and combined with fear and mistrust caused by the ISIS attacks continued to send shockwaves through the market. These factors resulted in the bad performances of the investment market as a whole. INVESTMENT INCOME (S$M) 投资收入 $1.68 $3.48 投资收入 2015/16 财政年是市局不稳定的一年, 导致投资收入下跌 全球货币政策出现分歧, 全球市场必须顺应强势美元和石油大幅波动所带来的不稳定影响 负面的宏观环境也令新兴市场在 2015 年蒙受冲击 中国股市崩盘加上中国人民银行意外降准, 还凸显一个日益增长趋势 政治风险及其对世界市场的影响 最后,2015 年地缘政治风险愈发显得重要, 主要是欧洲移民危机以及伊斯兰国组织恐怖袭击所带来的恐惧和不信任, 继续给市场带来冲击 这些因素都造成投资市场整体表现不佳 FY15/16 FY14/15 14

17 ANNUAL REPORT 年报 FY 2015/2016 PERFORMANCE INCOME SCO went on 3 overseas concert performances in FY15/16. In October 2015, SCO performed 2 concerts in Hong Kong: (1) Ruan Lingyu s The Goddess - A Silent Film Concert and (2) Hong Kong Concert. SCO performed the third concert in Malaysia in December 2015, presenting Titian Budaya Night Crossing Cultures. These 3 overseas concerts had earned the Company a total of $174k in performance fee. This was an increase from FY14/15 where the performance fee received from the overseas concert amounted to $80k. PERFORMANCE INCOME (S$M) 演出收入 $0.92 $0.85 演出收入 华乐团于 2015/16 财政年在海外共呈献三场演出 华乐团于 2015 年 10 月在香港呈献两场音乐会 :(1) 阮玲玉 神女 默片音乐会和 (2) 新加坡华乐团香港巡演音乐会 华乐团于 2015 年 12 月在马来西亚演出 乐飘双峰 荟音乐融 音乐会 这三场海外演出让公司共取得 17 万 4 千元的演出收入 相比 2014/15 财政年公司的海外演出取得共 8 万元的演出收入,2015/16 财政年演出收入有所增加 FY15/16 FY14/15 OTHERS Included in other income in FY14/15 was advertisement income derived from engagement with MediaCorp s 92.4 FM radio station for full page advertisement in SCO s concert house programmes. There was no such placement in FY15/16 thus resulting in the decrease in other income. 其它收入 2014/15 财政年的其他收入包括新传媒 92.4 广播电台在华乐团音乐会节目表中登出整页广告收入 由于 2015/16 财政年公司没有类似广告登出, 其他收入因而减少 $0.07 OTHERS (S$M) 其它收入 $0.11 FY15/16 FY14/15 15

18 EXPENDITURE The overall expenditure increased by approximately $0.073 million in FY15/16. This was mainly due to an increase in manpower cost and increase in investment securities loss. Due to stringent cost control, rental expenditure and performance expenditure have decreased in FY15/16 as compared to FY14/15. 开支 2015/16 财政年的总开支增加约 7 万 3 千元 这主要是由于人力成本增加及投资证券亏损扩大 有鉴于公司严格控制成本,2015/16 财政年的租金开支和演出开支, 相比 2014/15 财政年有所下跌 TOTAL EXPENDITURE (S$M) 总开支 $ $ FY15/16 FY14/15 FY15/16 SOURCES OF EXPENDITURE 开支分析 51.1% 5.5% 1.2% 14.6% 12.3% 9.1% 6.2% Manpower 员工薪酬 Administrative 行政费用 Fundraising Expenditure 筹款开支 Rental Expenditure 租赁支出 Performance Expenditure 演出开支 Foreign Exchange Marketing Loss and Unrealised Expenditure Fair Value Changes in 市场营销费用 Investment Securities 外汇损失 FY14/15 SOURCES OF EXPENDITURE 开支分析 49.5% 16.7% 19.0% 6.1% 1.0% 1.5% 6.2% Manpower 员工薪酬 Administrative 行政费用 Fundraising Expenditure 筹款开支 Rental Expenditure 租赁支出 Performance Expenditure 演出开支 Foreign Exchange Loss and Unrealised Fair Value Changes in Investment Securities 外汇损失 Marketing Expenditure 市场营销费用 16

19 ANNUAL REPORT 年报 FY 2015/2016 MANPOWER SCO s musician remuneration packages are on 2-year basis. The most recent re-contract of musicians was in January As a result, there was salary increment in FY15/16, causing total manpower cost to increase. MANPOWER (S$M) 员工薪酬 In addition, headcounts increased from 129 full-time musicians and staff in FY14/15 to 133 in FY15/16 and there was an increase in employer CPF contribution of 0.5% from January This caused manpower cost to rise from $9.16 million in FY14/15 to $9.48 million in FY15/16. $9.48 $9.16 员工薪酬 华乐团全职演奏家的薪酬配套为期两年 最近一次演奏家重新签约合同是在 2015 年 1 月 这使到 2015/16 财政年演奏家薪酬有增加, 进而造成人力成本上扬 此外, 全职演奏家和工作人员人数从 2014/15 财政年的 129 人, 在 2015/16 财政年增加至 133 人 从 2015 年 1 月起, 雇主公积金缴交率上扬 0.5% 这些因素都使到公司人力成本从 2014/15 财政年的 916 万元, 在 2015/16 财政年增至 948 万元 FY15/16 FY14/15 ADMINSTRATIVE The slight dip in administrative expenses was due to professional fees paid for Audience Development Market Research in FY14/15.

35 ANNUAL REPORT 年报 FY 2015/2016 Building an Inclusive Society through Music 通过音乐打造包容性社会 Quoting from an address at an event supporting special needs community by SCO Patron - Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, that We all have something to contribute, and in a different way, each of us is somehow special, different from others. With such strong beliefs, SCO follows the blueprint and is set to inspire individuals of different background, creating an inclusive society through our music. Sharing this vision is one of SCO s avid supporters since Deutsche Bank Singapore. The collaboration with Deutsche Bank has grown from a collaboration to put up a lunchtime concert in the Central Business District, to a full fledge sponsorship, with new and significant ventures between the 2 organisations. Furthering the strong rapport, SCO was delighted to continue its partnership in 2015 with Deutsche Bank, creating meaningful opportunities and exceptional collaborations such as Deutsche Bank - SCO Born to Be Music Scholarship and Dream Beyond concert. Another noteworthy effort would be SCO Caring Series, where SCO reaches out to patients and residents of nursing homes, hospices, hospitals and more. In 2015, SCO brought Caring Series to 7 locations and performed to over 1,700 audiences from all around Singapore. We are truly impressed by the fantastic performance by SCO. Their renditions of familiar favourites were warmly welcomed by the audience with many clapping and humming along. Indeed they brought much joy to patients and staff like. Kudos to the conductor for connecting with the audience and making the concert alive. Thank you SCO for performing in CGH. If music be the food of healing, play on! 李显龙总理在一项支持特殊需要群体的活动上演讲时说 : 我们每个人都能为社会做出贡献, 而且各有其独特贡献, 因为我们每个人都具有不同于他人的特殊一面 在这强大信念下, 华乐团遵循其蓝图, 开始通过音乐去激励来自不同背景的人, 从而打造一个包容性社会 与华乐团共享这个愿景的是华乐团自 2011 年以来的忠实支持者之一 德意志银行新加坡分行 华乐团与德意志银行的合作从中央商业区的午餐音乐会, 已提升到两个组织之间崭新及显著投入的全面性赞助 延续着彼此紧密合作关系, 华乐团很高兴在 2015 年继续跟德意志银行展开合作, 设立德意志银行 新加坡华乐团 Born to Be 的音乐教育奖学金和 梦无垠 音乐会等富有意义和独特的合作计划 另一个值得一提的社区活动是华乐团关怀系列音乐会 在这 系列活动中, 华乐团将把温暖的音符传送到各大医院及医疗中心 在 2015 年, 华乐团把关怀系列音乐会带到七家医院及医疗中心, 给我国各地超过 1700 名观众观赏 ~Ms Sim Ai Ling, Assistant Director Corporate Affairs, Changi General Hospital 33

36 Engaging the Youths 青少年交流 With the aim of nurturing the next generation of music advocates, SCO creates a variety of platforms for youths to interact with Chinese orchestral music and deepen their understanding and love for Singapore s vibrant culture. Exposure to Chinese orchestral music was achieved through Tunes of SCO, an educational concert that brings SCO to schools to perform and communicate specifics about the vast knowledge of Chinese orchestral music. Concert-In-Progress is another similar endeavour that hopes to expand the perspective of teachers and students, increasing the depth of their understanding in the music scene. Started in 2014, it has now focused its reach to local Chinese orchestra members, where background of repertoires is explained and fuses technicality and musicality in the conveyed information during the concert, particularly the pieces set for the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Arts Presentation that takes place every year. It is with the support from the Ministry of Education (MOE) that another round of fruitful learning experience took place on 23 and 24 March 2016 at SCO Concert Hall. Reaching out to youths that are on their way to accomplish professional standard, students at School of the Arts (SOTA) and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) were given the chance to experience training with a professional orchestra and perform with SCO for public audiences on 4 Aug 2015 and 23 Sep 2015 at SOTA Concert Hall and Lee Foundation Theatre respectively. Under this programme, the Campus Rhapsody provides learning experience for these youths to affirm their chosen paths and prepares them to work with different art forms and organisations. 5 Mar 2015 (Rosyth School) Our children had the best time and really loved their experience. You run an extremely professional and positive programme that makes all of the children learn about Chinese music through fun and play. ~ Mdm Lee Bao Ling Bringing it down to an intimate setting, Educational Workshops were conducted by SCO musicians for Chinese orchestral students or educators who may be interested in learning more and past the knowledge on.

48 新加坡大会堂 SINGAPORE CONFERENCE HALL Singapore Conference Hall The Singapore Conference Hall is located in the heart of the city centre, and is the official home of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. Completed in 1965 as a venue for largescale conferences, this award-winning architecture combines functional design with features from a bygone era. As a historical landmark, it has witnessed many national and international events that took place in Singapore. In 1999, after nearly three and a half decades of service, this well-loved landmark was closed for a $14.7 million overhaul to modernize its facilities to accommodate a wider range of events. Despite the contemporary appeal of its new interiors, its external façade remains largely unchanged to preserve its monumental grandeur and historical significance. The Singapore Conference Hall was reopened in September 2011 by then-deputy Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong. Today, Singapore Conference Hall is a sophisticated venue for world-class events with an auditorium and a multifunctional hall. Its opulent Concert Hall, premium acoustics, and practice facilities make it an ideal venue for arts and cultural performances. The Singapore Conference Hall was recognized as a National Monument by the National Heritage Board in December It is indeed an honour and a privilege to be part of this prestigious monument and its history. The Singapore Conference Hall is managed by the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. Our vision is to promote Singapore Conference Hall as a distinguished landmark and choice location for events and conferences. Concert Hall The Concert Hall offers an intimate setting for a variety of performances. Designed with the latest acoustics and soundproofing technology, it features plush carpeting and luxurious high-back seating with generous legroom for an audience of 869. Its grand theatre-style layout in a cavernous interior free of structural columns adds splendor to the hall while ensuring unblocked views of the stage from every seat in the house. The Concert Hall is an ideal location for seminars and cultural and performing arts, including orchestra, choral and solo performances. Resource Library The Resource Library houses all recordings and publications of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. It is located at the second level of the Singapore Conference Hall. 46
