吉丰华乐团

吉丰华乐团成立于1974年，现为蔡厝港民众俱乐部属下的文化团体。自成立以来，乐团便积极推广华乐，除了举行常年音乐会外，也经常受邀参与国家艺术理事会主办的华乐节、音乐节等大型音乐会，并同国内外著名华乐团和音乐家合作演出。乐团向来深受其他艺术团体之器重，多次受邀担任舞蹈与戏剧伴奏及两度受邀在新加坡国际太极拳观摩大会中作全场伴奏。


多年来，吉丰华乐团曾因其音乐成就而获得多项荣誉，其中包括：四度获新加坡全国音乐比赛华乐小组冠军及全场最佳演奏奖(1987
－1993年期间)、1996年全国青年表扬奖等。

吉丰华乐团也曾受邀前往香港、砂劳越、泰国、中国成都等地演出，并与当地乐团交流。去年，乐团受邀担任新加坡合唱节大合唱的伴奏。
