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.

Hi Everybody from both Strings and Guitars!

We will be having both our BIG BIG exams and CHINESE NEW YEAR holidays during February!
Practices are stopped for you guys to prepare for your "Big Days".

Practices will be stopped, starting from the week (7th - 13th February) to 28th February.
Please note that there is an extra week of holidays since people don't study during chinese new year!
So, take the one extra week to study for ur exams and score good grades!

All practices will be resumed on the week (starting on 1st March).
By then, we will have to start preparing for NPS's BIG DAY, VIRTUOSO the 16th/17th (i might lost count though).
