Music Interest Groups
The Rafflesian spirit lives on through music. ORA's music interest groups bring together alumni with a shared passion for choral, orchestral and music performance. From the award-winning Raffles Singers to the dynamic Raffles Alumni Chinese Orchestra (RACO) and vibrant Raffles Winds, these groups build community through creativity and the arts.
Whether you're a seasoned professional, still learning, or someone just interested to give back to society through music,
there's a place for you in our musical community.
Founded in 2009, RACO brings together former and current members of the Raffles Institution (Year 1 – 4) Chinese Orchestra, Raffles Girls’ School Chinese Orchestra, and Raffles Institution (Year 5 – 6) Chinese Orchestra..
RS was founded when alumni singers of Raffles Chorale, recipient of the 1999 Choir of the Year at the SYF competition, reunited and sang at a VCH concert in 2001. Since then, RS has continued to draw experienced singers, accomplished choral conductors, and music teachers..
Raffles Winds is a combined alumni band of Raffles Girls' School (RGS), Raffles Institution (RI), and Raffles Junior College (RJC). It was initiated in 2001 by a group of then-RJC band alumni who wanted to continue relishing the musical experience after graduation..
