Where I Belong (4K) - Singapore Symphony Orchestra

Celebrate Singapore’s 56th birthday with a brand-new arrangement of Tanya Chua’s Where I Belong, by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.

Marking the 20th anniversary of one of Singapore’s beloved National Day songs, let "Where I Belong" show you around our island home in its glorious greenery. Spot iconic HDB estates motifs from Tampines and Hougang, enjoy scenic Punggol, wander through the picturesque award-winning mixed development Marina One and admire the panoramic views of The Promontory at Marina Bay.

Prominent features in "Where I Belong", are singers Syakirah Noble and Umar Sirhan, rising local talents who were formerly trained choristers with the Singapore Symphony Children’s Choir (SSCC) and Youth Choir (SSYC), violinist Chloe Chua, and the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Singapore Symphony Youth Choir, with a special appearance by Tanya Chua.

A poignant reminder of home: Whether rain or shine, with friends and families by our sides, this is where we know we belong.
