Chinese Orchestra

In RICO (Yr 5-6), we believe just as much in working hard as in playing hard. That's why our members look forward to activities like our weekly batch dinners and annual day-camps, or simply to our practices – held every Monday and Tuesday – which are enlivened by our one-of-a-kind conductor, Mr Yang Ji Wei, as well as our many hardworking instructors. Under Mr Yang's baton, the orchestra has achieved outstanding results in the biennial Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Arts Presentation, most recently obtaining a Certificate of Distinction in 2021, and performed in venues such as the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre and the SCO Concert Hall.

In the orchestra, you'll be exposed to the riches of Chinese orchestral music, while finding out how modern pop music resonates in the unique timbres of Chinese instruments – but, more than that, you can be assured that, amidst ravishing melodies, rejuvenating practices, and revitalizing dinners with our RICO family, you'll have the time of your life.
