Webinar | Inspiring People and Business through the Power of Music feat. Simon Haw MBE | 8 Sep 2022

Music has such an important role in all our lives, even in the world of business it is one of the most dynamic and growing industries worldwide.

In 2021, the international recorded music market grew by 18.5%, with revenues of US$25.9 billion and it is expected that the industry will continue to grow at a compounded annual rate of 8.5% with revenues reaching over US$53.2 billion by 2030. The COVID-19 pandemic has been an accelerating factor in the increase in online music sales via streaming which now comprises 65% of the total music industry revenues, catalyzed by the uptrends in online content creation.

During this spectacular event, the Commonwealth Chamber of Commerce was joined by the immensely talented Composer in Residence of the Commonwealth Orchestras and Choirs, Simon Haw MBE. Simon shared with us 11 inspirational and beautiful piece he composed and arranged for the Commonwealth musical organisations, excerpts of which were played during the online event.

In between the musical segments, Simon recounted his introduction to the Commonwealth back in 2016 when he won first prize in the Commonwealth Music Competition for his composition called “A Song for the Commonwealth” which marked the beginning of his long term association with the bloc’s musical organisations. He also discussed in detail with us his thought process behind each composition and arrangement as well as his general methodology and creative sources from which he draws inspiration for his works. The event also included an interactive Q&A session with the audience that lead to some surprising discoveries, including a potential career for Simon in video game music composition!
