Formed in 1980, the NUSChoir, a member of the NUS Centre for the Arts, comprises over 70 students, staff and alumni from various NUS faculties who share a common passion for singing and choral music.
The choir aims to promote choral music excellence within campus, as well as to external audiences. Aside from staging its annual concert, Varsity Voices — the most recent of which was specially held at the Esplanade Concert Hall to mark the choir's 30th anniversary — the choir regularly performs for audiences both locally (Mediacorp's Project Hope 2009, Video Games Live Singapore 2009, and collaborations with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra) and overseas (Gold Award with Perfect Scores in Open Mixed and Jazz categories - Festa Choralis, Slovakia 2010; Overall Champion with Perfect Scores - Grand Prix, Russia, 2008), among other engagements and accolades.
Under the baton of Mr Nelson Kwei, Singapore's premier choral director, and the guidance of voice tutors Ms Mary Tan and Mr Terrence Toh, the NUSChoir continues to embark on its journey of diverse and challenging choral music.
