WHO WE ARE
Aura Music is a young education charity that aims to foster a lifelong love of learning through the joy of music—for both the young in age and the young at heart.
We organise interactive and interdisciplinary workshops, mentorship programmes, pre- and post-concert activities, and concerts that showcase young Asian musicians. But no matter the format, our activities are fueled by a unifying belief: that behind every sound is a story, and behind every story is a connection. To fields like philosophy, physics, linguistics, and architecture. To other people, places, and cultures. And ultimately, to ourselves.
Join our events, and rediscover the world through music!
Let knowledge grow and be human life enriched with music
