Since its inception in the 1990s, the Temasek Junior College String Ensemble has made considerable strides to become one of TJC’s foremost performing arts groups. It aims to cultivate in its members a love for string playing through exposure to a myriad of musical styles and genres, ranging from Baroque classics to film music of the 20th century. This is complemented by a wide array of musical activities, including public performances, intra-school showcases, exchange programmes and masterclasses.
Over the last decade, the ensemble has grown significantly under the leadership of its conductor Mr Yang Zheng Yi. Most notably, at the biennial Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation, it has obtained six consecutive Certificates of Distinction in recognition of its musical achievement. Apart from holding biennial public concerts, the ensemble has participated in local music events including the Esplanade ‘In Youthful Company’ series, Toscani Violin Exhibition and Fete de la Musique. It has also staged community performances at Bedok Town Square, Lions Home for the Elders and MWS Nursing Home.
