欢迎登陆油池民众俱乐部华乐团部落格。
油池民众俱乐部华乐团，在当时的交通部长兼国会议员姚照东先生的支持下，成立于2003年4月。乐团由开始20位团员，迅速的发展到一支拥有60位年轻团员的华乐团。
在黄志光先生的指挥下，乐团于每星期六练习。8年来，乐团主办和参与多场社区演出，并获得油池居民的好评。乐团也主办了<民土琴声2004>，<新音齐韵2007>,<新音齐韵2009>,<新音齐韵2011>四场公开演出，并获得多位华乐界前辈与人士的好评与肯定。
从2005年12月开始，乐团也推出<近距离音乐会>。音乐会目的是为初出茅庐的小乐手从小舞台累积经验。6年来，乐团成功主办多场<近距离音乐会>，也发掘多为有独奏能力的乐手。<近距离音乐会>也为油池居民与华乐爱好者带来更多欣赏华乐的机会。
除<近距离音乐会>外，乐团也在2009年1月3日推出<午间音乐>。15分钟的迷你音乐表演也为许多前来油池民众俱乐部活动的居民带来不同的音乐感受。
除社区与公开演出，团员从2005年开始， 定期到老人院和乐龄活动中心演出与服务。乐团更是由2008年开始，每年春节和中秋节到托福园演出与服务。
2008年6月，乐团一行人北上马来西亚霹雳洲太平市及槟城的乐团进行音乐交流，团员们此行也获益不浅。
成立以来，乐团之所以积极主办及参与许多活动是希望将华乐献给广大华乐爱好者，并为新加坡成为优雅社会献上一份棉力。
Welcome to Yew Tee Community Club Chinese Orchestra's blogger.
Yew Tee Community Club Chinese Orchestra was set up in April 2003, with the support and sponsorship of, then Minister of Transport, Member of Parliament for Hong Kah GRC, Mr Yeo Cheow Tong. The pioneer group of 20 youth musicians soon grew to become a young promising youth Orchestra of 60 young music talents.
Under the baton of Mr Endrey Wong, the Yew Tee CC Chinese Orchestra gets together for weekly practices on Saturdays. In the past eight years, the group has been a familiar sight at numerous community events both within and outside Yew Tee. Its annual Community Concerts were always looked forward to and enjoyed by many Yew Tee residents. Ticketed public concerts had also sold well.
In December 2005, the Yew Tee CC Chinese Orchestra launched its quarterly Recital Series, with the dual aim of training and preparing its soloists for bigger concerts, and bringing Chinese Orchestra music in smaller but more regular doses to the community. This Recital Series is still going strong.
The success of the Recital Series prompted the Orchestra to launch its Saturday Afternoon Delights on 3 January 2009. This regular 15-minutes solo or small ensemble performances at the Atrium of the Yew Tee Community Club, before the Orchestra’s weekly practices, have brought much joy to residents attending activities or courses at the CC.
Initiated by members themselves, the Yew Tee CC Chinese Orchestra had also started its own Community Involvement Programme in 2005, with performances and interactions at Homes for the Elderly and Senior Activities Centres, including a very meaningful session at the Dover Park Hospice during the Mid-Auntumn Festival in 2008. The Orchestra has since adopted the Dover Park Hospice and made time to celebrate the Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival with its patients and families, and volunteers.
In June 2008, the Orchestra held music exchanges with schools in Taiping, Perak and Georgetown, Penang. This learning journey to Malaysia benefited our members in many ways.
The Yew Tee Community Club Chinese Orchestra had a very active and fulfilling first eight years. It has succeeded in bringing traditional Chinese music to the neighbourhood, and helped bring more vibrancy to the community. Amongst the members, sense of commitments and bonds are strong, and morale is high. The challenge now is to nurture members’ commitments and morale, and continually develop and grow this group of young and promising music talents.
