Located in the downtown area just on the edge of the Central Business District, this rather historical building is the current home of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. So if you’re a fan of Chinese orchestra music, you should definitely make a pit-stop during a visit to the city (a full listing of their concerts is easily available on the SCO website). Built in the 60s as a venue for international exhibitions and conferences, the award-winning design was considered rather avant-garde back in the day, even before it was refurbished in 2001.
