about TGS

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.


artistic director & conductor

For nearly 20 years, Adyll Hardy has championed the transformative power of choral music. As the Music Director of The Graduate Singers since 2010, he has dedicated his career to refining ensemble precision, celebrating diverse cultural repertoire, and leading choirs to international gold standards. He holds an LTCL diploma in Singing from Trinity College London and an ALCM diploma in Conducting.

Adyll’s leadership extends far beyond technical precision; it is defined by a deep-seated commitment to clinical intentionality and human advocacy. Having recently completed his Master of Arts in Music Therapy at Chulalongkorn University, Adyll actively operates at the intersection of choral artistry and healthcare. He is deeply committed to using music to elevate and empower vulnerable populations, specializing in evidence-based care for individuals with dementia, mental health conditions, and those in palliative settings. By blending the rigor of a classical conductor with the empathy of a music therapist, Adyll transforms the choral experience into an intentional journey of connection, resilience, and collective voice.
