Have you yearned to be a part of a body of devoted individuals with an ardent love for music? Do you have a burning passion for performing? Are you deeply intrigued by the string instruments? If so, Hwa Chong String Ensemble (HCSE) is the CCA for you!
Led by our conductor Mr Lin Juan, HCSE explores a marvellous miscellany of music, ranging from classical pieces to arrangements of popular songs today! Our enthusiasm for music has led us to perform in both local and international contexts. Events such as the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF), our biennial concerts and various intra-school performance opportunities, including Teachers’ Day, Busking sessions, and the Mid Autumn Festival (MAF), are milestones that we regularly work towards.
As a member of HCSE, you can look forward to a multitude of opportunities to rehearse and perform with like-minded, talented individuals within the ensemble and in the many other CCAs that we collaborate with. Not to mention the meaningful discussions on various musical interpretations!
Typically, CCA sessions are held twice a week. First, we have tutti, where the ensemble practices together under the direction of Mr Lin. Second, we have sectionals, in which we practise in our respective sections. These sessions are led either by members of the ensemble, or under the guidance of sectional tutors.
