1. Dress up and look your spooky best! Halloween is often celebrated in Western culture, but has yet to be celebrated by most in Singapore! When we conceptualized Spooky Soiree, we were aiming for a truly immersive experience just for you. Come join in the fun by dressing up! Our own members will be dressed up as skeletons, chained prisoners, witches and more! Picture by Leonard Yap 2. Da Capo XI features pieces you will love Featuring fantastical pieces, such as music from Kiki’s Delivery Service, and the Wizard of Oz, and classical dances Danse Macabre and Danse Diabolique, there is something for everyone! Here is a teaser of what you can expect: Video by Ezbon Sio 3. Freshman talent True to the NUS Wind Symphony Da Capo (which means ‘from the beginning’ in Italian) tradition, Spooky Soiree features freshman talent! Apart from putting in almost 20 hours weekly on practices, our freshmen have been hard at work behind the scenes working to create props, logistics support and even publicity! 4. Finding meaning in music
Above all the fun, our underlying belief is that music is better appreciated when the meaning behind it is understood. Did you know that Danse Macabre was written based on a poem as an allegory to the universality of death? Call us ambitious, but from meticulously curated song selections to the emcee’s script, we strive to bring you the best experience for appreciation of music – in every. Single. Aspect. Come down to UCC this Sunday at 5pm! NUS Wind Symphony's concert series featuring freshman talent is back... with a spooky twist!
Da Capo XI will bring you into a world of mysterious and magical creatures alike in the mood for Halloween. Featuring familiar favourites from The Wizard of Oz, the Phantom of the Opera, Kiki's Delivery Service, to classical works such as Danse Macabre, NUS Wind Symphony will charm you and take you on a spook-tacular journey! The audience is encouraged to join in the fun by coming dressed up in costumes. Don’t miss this concert as we promise a feast for both your ears and eyes!

We feel ya. Over the last 2 weeks, we performed at the Student Life Fair, HERE Arts Carnival, and had our Welcome Tea! Although we're still recovering from the festivities, the semester only gets better from here! Look forward to our Orientation on 3rd September (talk to our friendly SLs for details :)) Here's a recap of what's happened so far! Student Life Fair! Our booth was set up at the Dance Studio, and we even had a selfie taken with Professor Tan Chorh Chuan, President of NUS! Did you manage to catch our flute, clarinet, brass and percussion ensembles at Student Life Fair? Don't worry if you didn't manage to catch us because here are the recordings: NUSWS Welcome Tea! We had a huge turnout at our Welcome Tea on 15th August! Our freshies got to experience the joys of being a NUS Wind Symphony member. It was a night of intense music-making under the tutelage of our experienced conductors, Associate Professor Ho, and Mr Francis Tan. It was certainly refreshing for our seniors to be playing with new faces! Thank you to those who came down and we hope everyone had a great time! :) Picture credits: Phoebe Heng & Poh Zi Yang Japanese Graffiti XIV at HERE Arts Carnival! After only three rehearsals and a bump in, we found ourselves at UCC on a Friday night. It was time to showcase our exciting choreography and music at the HERE! Arts Carnival. We got the audience clapping along and laughing at our cute antics. We would like to express our gratitude, especially to our members and alumni who came down to support us, and hope everyone had a great time listening to our music, drinking beer and eating good food.

Stay indoors and remember to drink up cos the annual haze is back! Cheers, Christabel |
