In partnership with the 9th Singapore International Band Festival organised by the Wind Bands Association of Singapore, we proudly present the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Central Band on 28 July 2024 at the Esplanade Concert Hall.

​

With its roots traced back to the Singapore Military Forces Staff Band in 1958, the SAF Central Band is recognised as one of the most prolific military bands in the world today, with notable performances in Brunei, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Malaysia, the People’s Republic of China, Scotland, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States of America. 

​

Led by Director of Music, Military Expert 5 Ignatius Wang, the SAF Central Band serves as premier band of the SAF and is often seen at the Istana, performing for Presidential events and State Welcome Ceremonies for foreign dignitaries. Apart from being an integral part of the National Day Parade, the band also regularly stages its "In Harmony" and “Chamber Repertory” concert series.
