1 OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF NEW SHAW FOUNDATION SYMPHONY STAGE & SINGAPORE PRESS HOLDINGS GIFT OF MUSIC SERIES Singapore, 27 April Visitors to the Botanic Gardens will now be able to enjoy a wider variety of performances at the Botanic Gardens newly rebuilt Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage. Visitors will also have a series of concerts and performances to look forward to in the next 12 months. The new stage and the year-long SPH Gift of Music series are a gift to the nation to celebrate Singapore s 40 th Birthday. Minister for National Development, Mr Mah Bow Tan, will officially launch the new Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage and the inaugural SPH Gift of Music concert on Sunday, 1 May 2005 at 5 pm. The opening concert will be performed by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. The Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage A popular and iconic venue in the Botanic Gardens since the 1990s, the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage has been rebuilt to extend its range of uses. Developed at a cost of $2 million, it features a bigger stage area, improved sound system, stage lighting and back-of-house facilities to make it a more userfriendly performance venue. The rebuilding of the Stage was made possible through a contribution of $1.5 million from the Shaw Foundation. The design of the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage is inspired by its beautiful setting in the Palm Valley. Echoing the organic forms of flowers and leaves, the structure consists of two overlapping petal-like forms growing out of a floral stem. The bigger petal shelters the stage while the smaller one at the rear houses the changing area and support services. The petal-like form of the roof is constructed from free-standing steel ribs and clad with a titanium zinc roof which allows the complex curvature to be achieved. The ribbed texture of the roof also evokes the venation of flowers and leaves. Page 1 of 5

2 Said Ms Priscylla Shaw, Member, Shaw Foundation, The Shaw Foundation is pleased to be able to share NParks vision of creating a quality living environment for the community. The Singapore Botanic Gardens is already a much-loved recreation destination. We hope that, through the myriad of free concerts and festivals for children and adults of all ages, the Stage will help to provide more opportunities for visitors to combine entertainment with enjoyment, exploration and healthy living. SPH Gift of Music Series Singapore Press Holdings will present the first concert, to be performed by the SSO, immediately after the opening of the stage. This concert series is SPH's gift to enrich the community with music and spread the appreciation of music, and also to provide a platform for homegrown musicians and budding young performers to showcase their talent. It is also SPH's birthday present to Singapore's 40th Independence. The year-long series of concerts, to be held monthly at Botanic Gardens and other venues until April 2006, traverses different genres, ranging from jazz, Latin and light classicals to pop, R&B and Chinese orchestral music. The line-up promises to be wholesome and entertaining, and will appeal to both young and old. Said Mr Alan Chan, Chief Executive Officer of Singapore Press Holdings: "As a media company with wide reach, we feel that music, which connects people of all ages, from different cultures and races, is a very appropriate and meaningful gift to the community. "The Botanic Gardens provides the ideal setting for the SPH Gift of Music concerts as it's easily accessible to all, and many of us have fond and nostalgic memories of outings there with our families and dear ones. SPH welcomes everyone to join in this celebration of music, which is our gift to the community and the nation." Page 2 of 5

3 The SPH Gift of Music series is one of many outreach events supported by Singapore Press Holdings as part of its broadening corporate social responsibility to foster community spirit. Each year, the media group contributes to a diverse range of education, arts and culture, community, conservation, sports and charitable projects. SPH was named the top corporate giver in Singapore in a recent survey carried out by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, and it has been given the Distinguished Patron of the Arts award every year since "I am delighted with the enlightened support from the Shaw Foundation and Singapore Press Holdings. This collaboration is a fine example of how we work in concert with our partners to enhance the quality of software and hardware of the Botanic Gardens. We look forward to future collaborations with the Shaw Foundation and Singapore Press Holdings, said Dr Tan Wee Kiat, Chief Executive Officer, National Parks Board.
