Impact 2023

Event Details

School of the Arts, Singapore (SOTA) fundraising show, Impact 2023 is a multidisciplinary performance honouring the life and music of the late Zubir Said (1907-1987), the composer of Singapore's national anthem and other well-loved songs like Semoga Bahagia (Children's Day song). Featuring live renditions of Pak Zubir Said's music, the production also features dramatic scenes from his colourful life, depicted through Dance, Film, Music, Literary Arts, Theatre and Visual Arts. The show is collaboratively created by SOTA students, alumni and staff.

We promise you a fun and heartwarming evening as we explore the themes drawn from Zubir Said’s inspiring life journey as a visionary composer and arts educator who hailed from Sumatra and made Singapore his home. Zubir Said has influenced generations of musicians and arts educators, and also touched many lives with his many film scores from the golden age of Singapore cinema.

Come enjoy a festive evening of heart, soul, story and song. Our students, alumni and staff have spent many months drawing inspiration from Zubir Said's life and music, in order to bring this memorable experience to you.

Impact 2023 is raising funds for the SOTA Endowment Fund (SEF). The proceeds from the sale of tickets will go towards the SEF.
