We are Singapore’s top Niibori Guitar Ensemble*
No, we’re not the only ensemble…we’re just the best one! We’ve performed to sold-out crowds in Singapore at the various premier performing venues here and have collaborated with the best from the region for guitar ensemble concerts both in, and outside of Singapore such as in Japan and Taiwan! Why, we’ve performed at the Niibori Guitar Academy and even the Chief Conductor of the Niibori Guitar Music Academy in Japan considers us to be one of the best in Asia! and the Miko Guitar Ensemble, Taiwan’s premier guitar group, has played with us too!
INSPIRATION guaranteed for guitarists*
We’ve got a fantastic repertoire that is bound to inspire all guitarists to play and practice more! How so? Well, the eclectic and diverse repertoire will take audience members on a voyage through the stars, featuring Japanese traditional folk tunes, Hollywood theme songs, Anime theme songs and even a Bass guitar concerto! Why would they be inspired? Perhaps they would be, after seeing our pieces that require deft hand-eye-leg (yes leg!) coordination, beautiful vocal harmonies, skilled mallet work by our percussion section and full musicality. Oh and did we mention, we’re a guitar ensemble?

"A child is lost in the wilderness, and a mother and father grieve at their loss. Where he is, the gentle murmuring winds with its soft tendrils causes the child to quiver, while his memories of home slowly erode. The child is faced with a dilemma—to dwell in this bliss eternally or to return home.
Compass tells the story of this child finding his way home, as his family holds on to the hope that one day he shall return."
