BAND // NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY SYMPHONIC BANDFormerly known as the Nanyang Technological Institute Symphonic Band (1985-1990), the musical group was renamed the Nanyang Technological Band (NTUSB) after the inauguration of the university in June 1990. During the band's early years, the pioneering batches faced many challenges especially in instrumenting the members and building up a core group of committed musicians. Through sheer hard work and love for music, the band has built itself to be reputed as one of the finest bands in Singapore.
In 2001, the NTUSB won the FIRST prize (1st division, Harmony Band category) in 14th WMC in Kerkrade, the Netherlands, with the choice piece-- Fantasy Variation on a theme by Niccolo Paganini.
In July 2005, the band once again participated in the (15th) WMC in Kerkrade, the Netherlands. The band achieved Second Prize in the 1st Harmony Division and gained valuable exposure through the process. Regardless of the outcome of each competition, the band’s ultimate aim was to learn from the rewarding experience and to continually work on improving our musical standard.
In 2005, Mr Takehiro Oura joined us in our musical journey as our new resident conductor and has brought a fresh change to the band. We successfully held our first concert with Mr Oura in 2006 with raving reviews of our new musical standards.
The NTUSB will continue to strive towards her vision of establishing her standing as a music ambassador for both NTU and Singapore. This, the band will do, by helping to contribute to NTU's development into a world class university and by being part of the arts and cultural centre the government has envisioned Singapore to become.
