About Us

The Singapore Indian Orchestra & Choir (SIOC) is a 37-year-old performing arts group in Singapore and one of the world’s largest semi-professional groups showcasing the richness of Indian music with its wide range of traditional and contemporary repertoire.

Under the baton of Lalitha Vaidyanathan, PBM, SIOC has redefined the boundaries of Indian music through exciting collaborations with leading local and international composers as well as bringing the multi-racial cultural vibrance that Singapore is well known for to the local audience. The 50 member orchestra regularly performs both locally and internationally to enthrall audiences with their rich musical repertoire. SIOC also regularly collaborates with other dance groups and multi-ethnic music groups (Chinese and Malay orchestra) to bring a uniqely Singapore flavour to our audiences.

The Singapore Indian Youth Orchestra and Choir is SIOC’s youth wing that has been formed specifically with a motive to nurture the next generation of artists to perform in an orchestra and choir ensemble. We are excited to already have many young artists from the age of 15 to 23 who are part of this team seeding the pathway for future generation of artists of SIOC.
