Beyond the Score

18 October

Launched in 2014, Beyond the Score is a music appreciation series by NUS Society and Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music (YSTCM).

The sixth instalment of the series was held in the evening of 18 October 2018 at NUSS Suntec City Guild House. The evening was led by duodentity, a piano duo from YSTCM – Ms Adriana Chiew and Mr Gabriel Hoe. 

The duo transported attendees into a melodious world of classical music with four section pieces; Le Triomphe de Bacchus: Divertissement by Claude Debussy, Paganini Variations by Lutosławski, En Blanc et Noir (II. Lent. Sombre) by Claude Debussy and 6 Morceaux (II. Scherzo) by Rachmaninoff. 

The event was attended by Professor Bernard Lanskey, Dean of the Conservatory.

STEPS FOR HOPE – NUS Bizad Charity Run
Since 2009, the NUS Bizad Charity Run (BCR) has raised funds for those in need. Organised by NUS Business School Alumni Association and NUS Bizad Club, BCR is one of NUS’ most prominent charity runs.  

On 13 October 2018, the BCR Committee visited the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS) for Respite Day. The annual CPAS Respite Day aims at providing a well-deserved break for not just the beneficiaries, but also their families and caretakers. Families and caretakers are provided with training and self-grooming courses to equip them with essential skills to prepare them for the life of a long-term caretaker. Concurrently, the beneficiaries are engaged in exciting and dynamic games, aimed at building their mental and cognitive abilities. Respite Day also provides opportunities for these beneficiaries to meet the volunteers and bond with one another, to exercise their social skills. 

Interested to run and have fun while supporting CPAS?
