Live from Marina Bay Sands now: An exclusive preview of the I Play SG Music experience! 🎵📻 Delegates at the PCMA APAC The Business of Events conference are enjoying the sounds of Singapore with music from local artists like Benjamin Kheng, Ralph Alvern, Coming Up Roses and Shazza - specially curated for the event. I Play SG Music is an initiative launched by our national music movement Hear65 in 2023, with the intent to bring homegrown music to more spaces where people live, work and play. The experience is part of a multi-year partnership between National Arts Council and Marina Bay Sands to explore the connections and opportunities between the arts and MICE sector. The collaboration stems from Our SG Arts Plan (2023 – 2027), as we look for opportunities to boost Singapore’s #CreativeEconomy, and is just a step in a series of initiatives with Marina Bay Sands to bring #OurSGArts closer to its stakeholders.
