ABOUT ACJC STRING

The Anglo-Chinese Junior College String Ensemble (ACSE) was established in 1998. Known for its musical excellence, ACSE has staged well-received concerts at prominent venues such as CHIJMES Hall, Drama Centre, Singapore Art Museum, Victoria Concert Hall and the Esplanade.

With a wide range of experience, ACSE seeks to build up the community of string players and reach out to the community. In 2016, ACSE had the honour to perform at the launch of Singapore General Hospital’s Campus Masterplan and in 2017, the ensemble hosted and collaborated with our sister schools, Tezukayama High School, Japan (THS) and Immanuel College, Australia in a joint concert, ‘Celebrate!’. In line with ACJC's 40th anniversary, the ensemble also had the privilege to record and perform the newly arranged ACS anthem put together by ACJC's very own alumnus Peter Gale, conducted by Mr Seow Yibin. In 2019, ACSE together with ACJC Choir travelled to Osaka, Japan, to engage in a cultural exchange with THS to celebrate 30 years of friendship between the two schools. In the last decade and most recently this year, the ensemble attained a Certificate of Distinction in the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation for Instrumental Ensemble (Strings), sustaining our legacy of excellence.
