NUS Harmonica

NUS Harmonica Established in 1981, the 160-member NUS Harmonica Orchestra performs on a diverse variety of harmoni Our values

Harmonica music is rich and fun.

It is not about street vagrants or beggars, as the common misconception goes. In fact, the instrument is potentially capable of making delightful and skillful music of a wide range of music genres, from classical to pop and jazz, with a unique touch of beauty. NUSHO has always championed the cause of music education. We believe it’s never too late to pick up music; and everybody can learn to appre

ciate and enjoy it. Music can make university life more interesting and enriching. NUSHO also provides good care and training to our members. We place great emphasis on grooming our members to reach their fullest potential. Members benefit from many heavily subsidized music training programmes, masterclasses conducted by harmonica virtuoso, and leadership development opportunities. NUSHO seeks to innovate and collaborates extensively with other art groups. Not only do we try to perfect our presentation on the traditional harmonica pieces, we also explore new ways of making harmonica music. We arrange many of our own music by adopting music from other genres and presenting it in harmonica orchestra settings. We try to innovate in our stage performances too, by incorporating multimedia elements and collaborating with other art groups such as choir and guitar ensemble.

Hi everyone!!! After two years of virtual productions, NUS Harmonica presents our physical concert Soirée 2022: Momentous, a musical exploration of an individual's journey through time🥳. With Momentous, NUS Harmonica attempts to examine the different emotions that we experience through life as well as how these emotions affect our perception of time🕗.

NUS Harmonica desires to capture a series of musical snapshots of moments throughout one's life. Through these pieces, we hope to remind the audience of key moments in their lives, and that we are shaped not only by our life experience, but also the moments within it.

Here is a series of AY20/21 Archives to wrap out the previous turbulent AY. Despite the challenges amidst Covid-19, with a stricter restriction implemented for wind instruments, we had managed to achieve three main milestones throughout the year.

Milestone #1: NUSHO-GENUS Collaboration
It marked our first collaboration with another NUS CFA Arts Group and the performance turned out to be amazingly wonderful. The mellow tone of the harmonica and bell-like ringing of the guitar blends well together to produce a harmonious sound that tugs one's heartstring deeply.

The titles of our collaboration with GENUS is as followed:
1. Café 1930 by Astor Piazzolla (Duet)
2. Janine by Albert Raisner (Duet)
3. Libertango by Astor Piazzolla (Ensemble)

You can head to our IGTV or youtube channel to watch the performance videos.
