The concert, called the "Tamils in Nation Building Concert", will feature a medley of songs from yesteryear, exhilarating drum performances, traditional folk dances and fire displays.
There will also be special commissioned segments to showcase the contributions of the Tamils and Tamil Murasu towards nation building, and demonstrate the confidence of the community in the face of new global challenges.
At 75, Tamil Murasu is one of the oldest Tamil newspapers in the world.
Founded in 1935 by G Sarangapany, a Singaporean Indian business leader, the paper has grown from a circulation of about 200 copies in the founding years to its current average of 13,000 on weekdays and 20,000 on Sundays.
It was bought by Singapore Press Holdings in 1996.
On 6 July this year, the actual anniversary date of its founding, a bumper anniversary issue of Tamil Murasu - sponsored by Mini Environment Service, a company which builds worker dormitories - was distributed free to its readers.
Tamil Murasu has established itself as a voice for the Tamil-speaking community in Singapore.
It is one of the main information sources for the community with its wide-ranging coverage of local and foreign news, current affairs as well as sports and entertainment.
The paper is also known for its coverage of Tamil Nadu news.
To serve the wider Indian community better, Tamil Murasu introduced tabla!, a free English language weekly, in Oct 2008.
The paper, aimed at catering to the needs of the growing Indian diaspora in Singapore, circulates 30,000 copies on Fridays.
