Established in 2003, SMU Symphonia has grown into a full-fledged wind and strings symphonic group where we engage in various music genres and art forms. We pride ourselves as music enthusiasts who strive to emulate the values of Music, Friends, and Fun through our annual productions. We operate under the guidance of our resident conductor, Mr Adrian Chiang.

To date, SMU Symphonia has performed in a wide range of performances ranging from university-wide events such as SMU Annual Arts Festival, SMU Patron’s Day, and SMU Open House, to external gigs with various external parties such as NParks. The band performed Photosymphony at the Botanic Gardens in 2019 to monumental success. Our first online production Homebound was a part of SMU Arts Festival 2020, winning People's Choice Award. Meanwhile, Festiva XIV's rehearsals, recordings, and post-productions were carried out completely online, and to date has garnered 2.5k views. SMU Symphonia's SMOOJazz production in Arts Fest 2021 also won Best Marketing and Director's Pick. In 2023, SMU Symphonia celebrated our 20th anniversary. We celebrated this big milestone with our largest concert to date in March 2023, Festiva XVI, with several past and present Symphonians joining us on stage to celebrate all our past achievements! We also collaborated with SMU VOIX in our most recent continuation of our signature winds series, Grandioso IV: Once Upon A Dream, and held our very first strings-only recital, Capriccioso: The Hero’s Journey!

SMU Symphonia has travelled to countries like Australia in 2007 & 2009, and Vienna in 2013 to compete in various international band competitions. In 2018, the club journeyed to Japan to attend the 20th Conference of the Asia Pacific Band Directors’ Associations where we performed alongside bands from Korea, Australia, and many more. Aside from that, SMU Symphonia also hosts our own concerts, including our annual concert Festiva, and internal events within SMU, such as Grandioso or Capriccioso.

SMU Symphonia’s continual pursuit of excellence in music is not confined to concerts and competitions; the club believes in sharing the joy of making music, emulating our values of Music, Friends, and Fun with community performances such as the Commonwealth Science Conference 2017 at Istana, and collaborations with sister universities in Singapore like the SMU x SUTD Alma Mater Strings Concert in 2021, or the Inter-University Band Exchange in 2025 and 2026.

To kickstart the year, Symphonia invites you to join us at the Masquerade Ball and immerse yourself in the enchanting melodies. You can look forward to opera classics, exciting dances, and familiar tunes from Beauty and the Beast as well as Swan Lake!
