Nanyang Chinese Orchestra

The Nanyang Girls' High School Chinese Orchestra (NYCO) was founded in 1976, with the aim of promoting the appreciation of Chinese music and of grooming outstanding musicians.

Today, the orchestra is made up of approximately 100 members with a wide range of Chinese orchestral instruments, and holds a repertoire that ranges from full orchestral works to chamber and solo works.

The orchestra performs extensively in public concerts as well as private and school functions, not forgetting biennial concerts planned and implemented by the orchestra itself.

It has also received outstanding results in national competitions, including the prestigious Gold with Honours awards at the 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011 Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging, ever since the Gold with Honours award was implemented. Nanyang Chinese Orchestra was also the first Chinese Orchestra to be honoured with this award.

The orchestra participated in the Australian International Music Festival 2011, in which it attained the Gold award.

After the modification of the Singapore Youth Festival, the orchestra obtained a Certificate of Distinction at the 2013, 2015,2017 and 2019 Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation.
