The Hwa Chong Guitar Ensemble is a Niibori guitar ensemble comprising five sections: Alto 1, Alto 2, Prime, Bass and CBG (Contrabass and Guitarron). From the clear high notes of the alto to the rich low sounds of the guitarron, we play with passion and finesse, bringing life to each musical piece that we perform.
Led by our conductor, Mr Ow Leong San, we play a variety of repertoires, ranging from classical music to Original Sound Tracks (OST) or even original mashups of different songs arranged by Mr Ow. Over the years, we have obtained many notable achievements in the Singapore Youth Festival and Guitar Ensemble Festival. As a tight-knit ensemble comprising like-minded individuals with a strong passion for music, our members have various opportunities to hone their craft and learn from one another. We perform regularly at our annual Tsubasa concert and other annual school events like the Teachers' Day Concert, as well as occasionally performing at collaborative concerts with other schools.
So, if HCGE strikes a chord with you, do sign up for our open sessions and we look forward to having you join our guitar family!
