Guzheng Ensemble

Vision

The Canberra Secondary School Guzheng Ensemble is a long-term CCA Performing Arts Group that encourages its members to experience and develop an interest in music-making and appreciation. Our ensemble equips members with skills and techniques to perform in various competitions, school events, and community gatherings.

We pride ourselves on being a multi-racial and multi-national group, welcoming members of different races and nationalities who are interested in performing Chinese musical instruments.

Our main focus this year is to prepare and groom our members for the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation in 2025. Through intense training sessions, our members have forged stronger bonds as they work towards this common goal.

In 2024, we have participated in several community events as part of our Values-In-Action projects. In February 2024, our members performed at the Canberra Zone 2 Residents' Network Chinese New Year Lo-Hei Celebration. Based on our longstanding participation in the Singapore Youth Festival Guzheng Competition, we were specifically invited to perform for the Guest-of-Honour, Dr Lim Wee Kiak, Member of Parliament for Sembawang GRC.

The ensemble also performed at the Hari Raya Celebration@Bukit Canberra in May 2024. Members of Parliament for Sembawang GRC, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung, Dr Lim Wee Kiak, and Mdm Mariam binte Jaafar graced the event as the Guests-of-Honour.  On 27 July 2024, we performed at the FAM K@North West CDC National Day Celebrations.

For the remainder of 2024, we aim to strengthen our ties with the local community by continuing to perform at various events.
