Singapore Indian Orchestra and Choir
The Singapore Indian Orchestra & Choir (SIOC) is one of the few orchestras to have a choir to complement its performances. They have staged over 350 performances and are regularly invited to perform at local concerts of festivals in Singapore, Australia and Brunei. The Orchestra was formed by the People's Association.
History
In today's modern society where modern music is highlighted, the Orchestra sets the trend for Indian classical music.
Since its inception, SIOC has been run by Mrs Lalitha Vaidyanathan. The SIOC Youth wing is run by 'Kalaichudar' Mrs Vicknesvari Vadivalagan. This group of musicians consist of music students from various art schools and organizations. Being in a performing arts group, our young talents are motivated and driven to express Indian Music on a different platform. The ensemble attempts to create better awareness about classical music showcasing musical creativity on fusion, cinema songs, semi-classical and multi racial pieces into the young minds.
