Did you know that the Singapore National Youth Orchestra (SNYO) is recognised by the Ministry of Education as a CCA? Our musicians, between 10 and 21 years old, come from over sixty schools across Singapore. They share a passion for music and come for weekly rehearsals* at the SNYO Studios house in the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts campus. In addition to regular concert performances at the Esplanade Concert Hall and Victoria Concert Hall, our members also socialise over movie nights and pizza lunches.
Visit our website (www.snyo.org.sg) or write to us at snyo@sso.org.sg to find our more, or follow us on social media for regular updates and weekly games!
