NUS Guitar Ensemble (GENUS)
Established in 1981 by Cultural Medallion recipient Mr Alex Abisheganaden, NUS Guitar Ensemble (GENUS) is the region’s first Niibori guitar ensemble. Modelled after the Niibori Orchestra in Japan, GENUS showcases the distinctive musical character of the Niibori method.
As a pioneer in the Singapore guitar ensemble scene, GENUS aims to set the benchmark of musical excellence for ensembles in Singapore. Moving forward, GENUS aims to promote a greater love for guitar ensemble music to establish the Niibori art form as an integral part of Singapore’s arts landscape.
Recent productions with GENUS include Exuberance: An Ode to Youth (October 2022), Springtide (March 2022) and Incandescent – A City That Never Sleeps, a collaboration with NUS Dance Synergy for NUS Arts Festival 2022.
