Chinese Orchestra

In Kong Hwa School, our Chinese Orchestra (CO) is led by our esteemed conductor, Ms Ma Huan. Coupled with a team of dedicated KHS teachers and our highly qualified instructors, we aim to develop all our members holistically and to be active listeners and dedicated musicians who appreciate Chinese Music and are enthusiastic performers in Chinese Orchestra.

Our students in Chinese Orchestra are able to demonstrate good musicianship and values of perseverance, teamwork and discipline through playing CO instruments. We view attendance, punctuality, preparedness, consistent effort and positive attitude in our members as quintessential criteria to bring out the best in each and every member in KHS Chinese Orchestra.

In addition to our outstanding achievements in national platforms such as Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation, we also strive to provide showcasing opportunities for our members within schools through events like Chinese New Year, KHS Aesthetic Showcase and beyond schools at Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan and other venues.
