THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS IS OPEN  

Small group, big sound – welcome to the Chamber experience 

Chamber Ensemble is hardly considered your archetypal Performing Arts CCA. By most other CCAs, in fact, we seem devastatingly outnumbered.

Nevertheless, what we lack in numbers we make up for with our coruscating performances. Despite our ensemble’s small size, we make sure to bring to our audiences captivating renditions that are sure to tug on your heartstrings.

Adapted from CCA Previews ‘25 

Picture this. You are about to begin the final speech of the match. You step up to the table, lay out your notes, ignore the uncanny resemblance to a solitaire board and concentrate—now is no time for second thoughts.

You begin speaking, slowly at first, but accelerating quickly. In a short 8 minutes, you’ve constructed a case that’s morally, logically and emotionally superior to your opponents’, you’ve criticised democracy, upheld the rights of minorities, and proved why love is morally unjustified. In other words, you’ve never been prouder to propose. 

Of course, that’s the ideal situation, and reality is often far faster and more frantic. Yet, if any part of this interests you, you may yet find your calling in Raffles Debaters.
