Ensemble de la Belle Musique (EBM), literally translated as “Ensemble of Beautiful Music”, is the world’s premier chamber ensemble dedicated to premiering tonal, beautiful and melodious works by living composers from all over the world.

EBM was founded in October 2016 by Dr. Joseph Curiale, a well-known Emmy Award-nominated American film music composer who has worked in Hollywood for more than twenty-six years, Dr. Leonard Tan, a well-known local conductor and music educator, Low Shao Suan and Low Shao Ying, local twin pianists-composers, and Michael Thien, a local event organiser.

EBM aims to provide the audience with a refreshing experience at every concert, where they will be the first in the world to listen to tonal and melodious world premieres written by living composers from all over the world.
