About
The NTU Guitar Ensemble was founded in 1985, adopting the Niibori guitar system soon after and has established itself as one of the first guitar orchestras in Singapore. From the light and clear notes of the Alto guitar to the rich deep sonority of the unique Guitarron, these guitars possess a full range of pitches and tones to achieve versatility in artistic expression across genres.
The ensemble is currently under the baton of our instructor conductor Mr. Kevin Yeo. The NTU Guitar Ensemble participates in various performances within and outside NTU, where members gain exposure and performance experience. Aside from our annual concert, Nocturne, which showcases an eclectic mix of genres and guitar styles, the ensemble regularly performs on campus as well as at public events—whether providing musical entertainment at official ceremonies or taking part in volunteer projects.
Why Join NTUGE?
The NTU Guitar Ensemble welcomes anyone interested in advancing their guitar skills with a group of like-minded individuals who have a passion for music and the guitar. At the end of each year, all members perform together as an ensemble for our annual concert. Guitars are provided, so you don’t need to bring your own!
Instructor
Mr. Kevin Yeo is an experienced guitar ensemble conductor who began his career as a guitar coach at the age of 20. He has since led many ensembles to success in various competitions and performances. Notably, ensembles instructed by him have received many prestigious accolades in the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Competitions over the years.
Beyond his musical guidance, Mr. Yeo has been indispensable in the preparation and success of our concerts. He provides an encouraging presence, nurturing our guitarists’ passion for playing while exposing the ensemble to different genres of music and techniques.
