Singapore Indian Orchestra and Choir

The Singapore Indian Orchestra & Choir (SIOC) is one of the few orchestras to have a choir to complement its performances. They have staged over 350 performances and are regularly invited to perform at local concerts of festivals in Singapore, Australia and Brunei. The Orchestra was formed by the People's Association.

History

In today's modern society where modern music is highlighted, the Orchestra sets the trend for Indian classical music.

Since its inception, SIOC has been run by Mrs Lalitha Vaidyanathan. The SIOC Youth wing is run by 'Kalaichudar' Mrs Vicknesvari Vadivalagan. This group of musicians consist of music students from various art schools and organizations. Being in a performing arts group, our young talents are motivated and driven to express Indian Music on a different platform. The ensemble attempts to create better awareness about classical music showcasing musical creativity on fusion, cinema songs, semi-classical and multi racial pieces into the young minds.

gollark: Wikipedia says that spider silk has a diameter of "2.5–4 μm", which I approximated to 3μm for convenience, so a strand has a 1.5μm radius. That means that its cross-sectional area (if we assume this long thing of spider silk is a cylinder) is (1.5e-6)², or ~7e-12. Wikipedia also says its density is about 1.3g/cm³, which is 1300kg/m³, and that the observable universe has a diameter of 93 billion light-years (8.8e26 meters). So multiply the length of the strand (the observable universe's diameter) by the density of spider silk by the cross-sectional area of the strand and you get 8e18 kg, while the atmosphere's mass is about 5e18 kg, so close enough really.
gollark: Okay, so by mass it actually seems roughly correct.
gollark: So, spider silk comes in *very* thin strands and is somewhat denser than water, interesting.
gollark: You do that, I'll try and find data on spider silk density.
gollark: Actually, this factoid does seem kind of dubious even if it's meant to say "mass"... hmm.
