about the graduate singers
The Graduate Singers (TGS) has its humble beginnings as an alumni choir in 2010 and is today a Singapore-based semi-professional choral ensemble. Diversity is the choir's strength, and this is reflected in its presentation of refreshing programmes and performance concepts.
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, and prospective members should apply and inquire with regards to membership any time throughout the year.
