History Of The Club

Ngee Ann Polytechnic Strings and Guitar ensemble (NPS) was established in 1992 by Mr.Gan See Wee, with the goal of promoting classical music amongst students. The club started out with a meagre 10 members and has since developed progressively to lots of members currently.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic Strings has performed at many outdoor events and functions. The main annual events are Virtuoso and Family concert. Other than performances, Ngee Ann Polytechnic Strings also organises various activities like the annual Music camp and Tea party to facilitate more bonding and a sense of unity between the club's members.

And to facilitate our new members, we also organise Guitar/Strings Fairs where we bring guitar/strings products and accessories to our club from vendors like Synwin, Maestro Guitars etc. This is to give them an opportunity to try and test the instruments with ease and also buy them at more affordable prices.

In the year 2006, Niibori Guitar was introduced to our club and has also played the instrument for the first time during our Virtuoso 13th Concert.

The club also aims to further inspire the club members to strive to bring the club to greater heights and to further enhance the reputation of Ngee Ann Strings by constantly performing at various functions outside school, which would bring greater glory to Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

Hello!

Alright, to many speculations and rumors or hearsay you've heard about the VIRTUOSO XV is now to be cleared!

Event: Virtuoso XV

Date: 30th August 2008

Venue: DBS Auditorium (DBS Building Level 3 & 4)

More details on http://www.npstrings-virtuosoxv.co.nr

Along to celebrate this good news, there's an upcoming V camp (Virtuoso preparation camp) for rehearsals, briefing and bonding of the performers specially for the Virtuoso Concert. The V camp is on the 12,13,14 June 2008, which happen to fall on the first week of the holidays. However, there might be stances where we might not have the overnight camp (it depends sometimes because it's quite a last minute thing), please still come on the 12June2008 for briefing of the Virtuoso. It is essential and compulsory for all performers. More details of the V camp will be posted up on this blog after the Common Tests.

Please do contact the Virtuoso Coordinator Charmaine(Guitar) or Jojo (Strings) for any clarifications or doubts, but please be nice to them :D
