“Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.”
― T. S. Eliot Four Quartets
Join NUS Guitar Ensemble’s (GENUS) semester showcase Ephemeral as we aim to capture the transient moments of being fully immersed in the music. Our repertoire spans multiple genres arranged in the Niibori style, ranging from the grandiose, lively tunes of Sevilla to the soulful melodies of One Summer’s Day. Each piece of music serves as a gateway to a memory or emotion, immortalising our experiences that last for nothing but a fleeting moment in time.

NUS Guitar Ensemble
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 so as to establish the Niibori art form as an integral part of Singapore’s arts landscape.
