To NUS German Language Interest Club
RE: Guitar Harmonie Concert organised by the NUS Guitar Ensemble
NUS Guitar Ensemble (GENUS) is proud to present GENUS 2009: Guitar Harmonie, a collaboration concert between the NUS Guitar Ensemble and the Jugend Musik Schule Pforzheim Guitar-Ensemble (JMSPGE), a prominent guitar ensemble from Germany. GENUS is a member of the NUS Centre For the Arts. More details regarding GENUS and JMSPGE could be found in Appendix attached.
We are excited to invite the NUS German Language Interest Club to GENUS 2009: Guitar Harmonie. This year, with the involvement of the JMSPGE, we promise a huge affair and a whole new concert experience, for all guitar aficionados and amateur players alike, involving anything from soothing classicals to passionate tangos. This would be a great opportunity for lovers of the German culture and language like you to immerse in a rich and diverse musical experience by our guests from Germany and our very own home-grown Niibori guitar ensemble. Do come to relax yourself and be entertained by our varied forms of Niibori guitars. I believe that your club is very supportive of German- Singapore exchanges and we hope that you will spread the words to all members of the club.
The concert collaboration will be held on the 6th June 2009, 8pm, at the NUS University Cultural Centre Concert Hall. We have attached the poster with this email for your viewing pleasure. For more information on Guitar Harmonie, do log on to our website, www.guitar-ensemble-nus.com.
We would be delighted to have NUS German Language Interest Club at our upcoming concert, as it is truly an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to catch the German maestros live in action. Your gracious support would mean a lot to us, as this concert is the fruition of the hard work of all of us at the NUS Guitar Ensemble – committee, tutors, alumni and members alike.

2. Matric Number: U073969H
3. Year: 2
4. German level: 2
5. Position interested: 1st choice Treasurer, 2nd choice General Secretary
6. Personal bio: I'm a 2nd year Chemistry major at the Faculty of Science and have a great passion for the Arts (Performing and Literary). I'm a avid fan of classical music (especially deutsche Lieder) and poetry, and that was the reason why I took up German in university. When I'm not working in laboratories, I like to sing and accompany myself on the piano, discover German/English poems (especially those set to music by classical composers), blog about music, attend concerts, and immerse myself in the beauty of nature.
7. What I can contribute to the society: Introduce ways to expand membership, as well as new activities to facilitate interaction between exchange students and local German language learners.
1.Name: Shawn Seah

3. Year: 3, coming on year 4
4. German level: 6
5. Position interested: 1st choice President, 2nd choice Vice President
6. Personal bio:
Hello! I am Shawn and I studied German 5 and 6 at NUS, a long time ago. I am from FASS, studying Economics. I like German as I studied it at O levels and fell in love with it, and till today I watch TV Total and listen to Nena and Oli P's music. My favourites on youtube last semester were "The Next Uri Geller" and "Die Besten Mentalisten der Welt".
I am also interested in history (especially modern European history and European intellectual history), philosophy, blogging, football, bowling, badminton and chess.
7. What I can contribute to the society:
I have a two-pronged vision for our society - that at the same time it can become a mass membership organisation (that means more than 50 people), while at the micro level people also contribute freely and participate in things that they love.
For example, I will encourage many to come for German movie screenings and Stammtisch, our main activities; also I will invite interested students for a tour of the library for the best German literature and share youtube videos (zum Beispiel, Morta Della - total lustig). Thank you for reading! -Shawn.

I THINK that I'm a very approachable person. I feel I thrive well with team activities, and I can be a team player. Why did I chose General Secretary? Other than the fact that the 'General' scope is so vague and I figured I am the man for the job, generally, and I have past experiences with being in a committee in sec school/Junior college which could prove useful. And I love to meet new people, and I like to make people laugh which is a plus point.

About myself: I am the Project Director of German Language Society now. After my SEP in Germany, I realized how unwilling I am to break the linkage with that wonderful land. To make myself closer with Germany, the interesting culture, language and people, I joined the EXCO last semester. However, I am quite disappointed especially for the low turnout rate for most of the events. I thought a lot of students are actually interested in learning about German culture, that's why they are taking or took German. Well, I am ambitious and hope that I can really do something to promote the German culture among the NUS students. A lot of stuff have to be done, include building up a closer relationship with German-related organizations, organizing information sharing session/exhibitions.
Back to the topic, I'm responsible, initiative and willing to commit. I believe these are also essential for a leader. =)
