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. Initially comprising only classical prime guitars, GENUS was later modelled after the Niibori Orchestra in Japan, becoming the pioneering guitar ensemble to showcase the distinctive and diverse musical possibilities of the Niibori method, which utilises a family of guitars with varying pitches.
GENUS is proud to have performed a colourful repertoire, ranging from major classical works to contemporary Japanese pieces. As a pioneer in the local scene, GENUS aims to set the benchmark of musical excellence for local ensembles. GENUS is continually working towards promoting a greater love for guitar ensemble music in Singapore, so as to establish it as an integral part of the local arts landscape.
