Shangri-La Singapore turns music into a full-body wellness experience

Singapore will see its first lie-down wellness concert later this year, as Shangri-La Singapore and The TENG Company present "五行 Wuxing, the five elements".

The 45-minute sessions features The TENG Ensemble, a local group known for blending Eastern and Western musical styles. In an octagonal Ba Gua (eight trigrams) setup, musicians will surround participants, creating a full-body listening experience. Traditional instruments including the guzheng (Chinese plucked zither), pipa, and dizi (Chinese transverse flute) are combined with monaural beats aimed at promoting relaxation and stress relief.

Registered music therapist Evelyn Lee of Prospect Music Therapy will guide the experience, combining original compositions with breathwork prompts, nature-inspired visualisations, and a narrative arc inspired by the five elements, earth, wood, fire, water, and metal. Each segment is designed to ease tension and guide audiences toward stillness.

The concert is the first in Singapore to combine therapeutic soundscapes with immersive staging. Shangri-La said the event also aligns with its efforts to support local talent and offer cultural experiences.

“At Shangri-La Singapore, we believe that wellness is a journey that encompasses the body, mind, and soul. We are delighted to collaborate with The TENG Company on a unique experience that beautifully bridges Singapore’s rich cultural heritage with innovative approaches to wellbeing," said Stephan Kapek, vice president operations and general manager, Shangri-la Singapore. 

In tandem, Samuel Wong, co-founder and creative director of The TENG Company said, "We are honoured to partner with Shangri-La on a transformative wellness experience that fuses ancient Chinese music therapy with the science of monaural beats. This is not just a performance, it’s a sound healing encounter designed to restore balance, deepen mindfulness, and awaken the senses." 

The concert comes as Shangri-La Singapore recently appointed Koo Sok Hoon as director of marketing, a move aimed at strengthening the hotel’s brand positioning and extending its reach to local and international audiences.

In her new role, Koo will oversee the hotel’s marketing and communications strategy, including integrated campaigns, digital and social media partnerships, PR, guest engagement, and efforts to boost both brand equity and commercial performance.
