吹。拉。弹。打。- NYJC CO

Immerse in the world of rich Chinese history and culture…

Inaugurated in 1978, the NYJC CO seeks to provide a platform for young and interested musicians to learn and share their passion for traditional oriental music. While the orchestra focused only on the traditional Chinese music pieces in the early days, it has developed and embraced the beauty of music pieces of various genres hence expanding the musical repertoire of our Chinese Orchestra. 

Students from different secondary schools and background meet in NYJC CO to enjoy the unique and distinct range of traditional Chinese Orchestral music, as well as Western Orchestral pieces. Other than working on the techniques during weekly sectionals, the combine group practices help to build teamwork and cooperation, bonding the members together as one orchestra. Under the guidance of renowned conductor Ding Xiao Yan, and her instructors, NYJC CO managed to clinch the Gold Award in the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Central Judging 2007.  

NYJC CO provides numerous opportunities for young men and women to showcase their talent. Other than performing in college events, the orchestra is often invited to perform at community clubs for various grassroots functions. In December 2008, the orchestra is honoured to be invited to perform at the Esplanade which was well received by the audience. 

The orchestra offers a distinctly different and incomparable face of music not found elsewhere. Today, NYJC CO aspires to cultivate a passion for Chinese Orchestral music and prove to the community that it is something for all to enjoy.

For those of you out there who share the same passion, do not hesitate! Join the NYJC CO and be part of the family! We look forward to working with you and together, help the orchestra achieve greater heights in the SYF Central Judging 2009.
