The TENG Company and Shangri-La Singapore are staging 《心安 · Music for Comfort》, a 75-minute wellness concert in the hotel’s Island Ballroom on Sunday, 15 November 2026, with sessions at 3pm and 7.30pm. Tickets cost S$68 nett and are already on SISTIC, and you can pay with SG Culture Pass credits.
If your group chat has been running on “so tired” since September, this one is aimed at you. The title sets the brief: 心安 (xīn ān) roughly means a heart at ease, and the show pairs live Chinese instruments with guided mindfulness and digital art, so a Sunday before another work week can go to winding down instead of doom-scrolling.
Wuxing Comes Back Gentler
This isn’t TENG’s first wellness concert with the hotel. The company says Music for Comfort builds on the success of 《五行 Wuxing》The Five Elements, which it staged in 2025, and the musician photos in this piece come from that production, so they give you a fair preview of who’ll be on stage this time.
Erhu, Meet Keyboard
The centre of the programme is eight original compositions from TENG’s Music for Comfort EP, performed live by The TENG Ensemble. The line-up brings together the erhu, the guzheng and the dizi, with guitar and keyboard.
That blend is the best reason to buy a ticket rather than queueing up a calm playlist on the MRT home. Even with a pair of studio-grade headphones on, a calm playlist still comes with notifications popping up mid-track, while a guzheng and a keyboard sharing a ballroom with you asks for your full attention.
If you’d like to sample the sound before you commit, the ensemble’s catalogue sits on Spotify and makes an easy test run on your commute.
Breathe In, Look Up
The music is half the programme. Wellness practitioner Stanley Lim guides the mindfulness exercises, multidisciplinary artist Brian Gothong Tan creates the immersive visuals, and art therapist Jeanette Chan leads reflective facilitation.
That last credit caught our eye. An art therapist in the line-up means you’ll be invited to reflect during the 75 minutes, which matters if you’re the type who downloads a meditation app with good intentions and never opens it, because a guide in the room makes the mindfulness part much harder to skip.
The Science-Adjacent Bit
The research hook is monaural beats, a sound element developed through TENG’s research collaboration with the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). TENG’s own wording is measured: the beats “explore the potential of sound to support relaxation and emotional regulation.”
We’d take that phrasing at face value. Go in expecting good live music and a structured chance to breathe, and count any extra calm you walk out with as a bonus.
A Ballroom for Your Burnout
Holding the show at Shangri-La gives a Sunday outing a sense of occasion, and the hotel’s lobby, with its tall potted trees and living green wall, is a softer setting than a packed concert hall foyer.
On timing, the 7.30pm session suits anyone who dreads Sunday night, since it puts your calmest 75 minutes of the weekend right before Monday. The 3pm session suits people who’d rather have the evening for dinner, laundry or lying flat afterwards.
The bigger deal for many readers is the SG Culture Pass eligibility. If your credits are still sitting untouched, this is a tidy way to spend them on something that’s good for your head as well as your weekend!
