▬ About #NUSIIE ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Music is an integral part of Indian culture, perhaps one of the world's oldest evolving traditions passed down from generation to generation. Established in 1987, the NUS Indian Instrumental Ensemble (IIE) celebrates the finesse of Indian Classical music. The ensemble now consists of SIX broad sections - ethnic plucked strings (Veena, Sitar, Dan Bau, Guzheng, etc.), Violin, Vocals, Wind (Flute, etc.), Percussion and Keys. In addition to these, we also have musicians proficient in guitar, and other forms of instruments.
Our performances mark the confluence of diverse styles of Indian music and a plethora of notes and rhythms. With around 80 members comprising of students and alumni, the ensemble performs both as a full orchestra and in smaller groups. IIE's 2023 annual concert during NUS Arts Festival called "Inter/change", inspired by the historic Silk Route, won the Production of the Year (Merit), 2023 at the Tan Ean Kiam Awards, in collaboration with NUS Chinese Dance. In 2022 and 2023, IIE was conferred with Original Work of the Year (Distinction), for our very own student composition - Sangamam, presented at our 2022 annual concert - "Bodhi - An Awakening" & Bairagi, presented at our 2023 annual concert - Inter/Change. We have also been honoured to collaborate with Esplanade for a show in July 2023 - "Swar Pravaaham - A Musical Voyage".
