The Nanyang Junior College (NYJC) Choir presents a diverse programme of choral works that bring words to life through music. Blending styles, languages, and traditions, the concert offers an engaging experience for audiences who appreciate both musical expression and literary depth.

An atmosphere of serenity opens the programme, as Rheinberger’s Abenlied evokes the stillness of nightfall, while Alfvén’s Aftonen gently captures the transition from day to evening. Reflections on love and longing follow in Forbes’ Come Back to Me, My Love and Elgar’s My Love Dwelt in a Northern Land, which explore the introspective yearning for an absent beloved.

Prinsloo’s Salve Regina offers warmth and reassurance, expressing trust and hope through the Marian prayer. A choral suite by acclaimed Japanese composer Ko Matsushita which conveys emotions and folk narratives through nuanced texture and tone.

The programme concludes with a change of pace, featuring uplifting arrangements of familiar melodies that celebrate the joy and passion of making music. The NYJC Choir invites you to enjoy an evening of rich choral colours, expressive storytelling, and musical diversity.
