about the graduate singers
The Graduate Singers (TGS) is an independent chamber choir in Singapore, dedicated to artistic excellence and meaningful storytelling through choral music. Founded by passionate young musicians, we bring together voices united by a shared love for collaboration, innovation, and the goal to be a unique Singaporean choral artistry and expression.
From timeless classics to bold contemporary works, TGS seek to move, inspire, and connect audiences with the power of the human voice. Beyond the concert stage, we champion Singaporean composers and foster the next generation of vocal talent, contributing to a vibrant and diverse choral landscape.
Whether you are here to discover our music, explore our upcoming concerts, or learn more about our journey, we invite you to join us in celebrating the beauty of choral singing.
TGS has two major recruitment seasons, but prospective members should apply and inquire with regards to membership any time throughout the year.
