Choirs in Singapore
-
Anglo-Chinese Junior College Choir
- AWA Singapore Choir - The AWA International Choir welcomes women with all levels of musical experience who love to sing. We rehearse once a week on Wednesdays at Adelphi House and are hoping to return to performing at local venues and AWA events. We charge our members a fee for each season which covers our music scores and rehearsal room. Register for the current season below. We have produced many choir videos of our singing, mixed expertly by our tech-savvy members, and posted them on our Facebook page. Just be a member of AWA, and be ready to mix it up in your sound booth at home! We are a happy bunch who love to sing and would welcome you into our International Choir. There are no official auditions, we simply assess your range for the group.
- Braddell Heights CC Youth Choir -
Braddell Heights CC Youth Choir was
established in 1988 by our conductress Mdm Ong Foon. The choir
consists of 4 sections: Sopranos, Altos, Tenors and Basses. At
present, the choir has a strength of 25 voices consisting of
undergraduates, students, businessmen, engineers, teachers,
contractors, designers etc. Currently, the choir conducts its weekly
practice at Braddell Heights CC on Saturday evening from 6-9 pm.
During this short 3-hour session, we learn to sing with good
techniques eg. good breathing skills, accurate facial expressions,
well-managed voice projection etc
-
Fairfield Choir - The Fairfield Choir has been established
since 1989. It started as an all-boys choir, then soon became a
mixed choir. Since then, the Choir has maintained high choral
standards, winning Gold, Distinction, Best Secondary School Choir
and Choir of the Year awards in the biennal SYF Choral Competition.
To date, the Choir consist of about 100 members, separated into four
main sections, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass.

Gorgeous,
Womans Choir -
We are a fabulous group of GORGEOUS. women who love to sing. It's
as simple as that. Based in Singapore, this women's choir has no
auditions, no embarrassing solos, no high collars, no church pews or
flying hymn books... All that we ask for is bundles of enthusiasm
and occasional attendance (it helps!)
-
Numama Choir (for mothers and
babies) Open to anyone (NO AUDITIONS), numama aims to bring
mums (or mums-to-be) of all backgrounds and all singing abilities
together in a relaxed environment to enjoy the experience of group
singing (with or without their babies). With a diverse repertoire
devised in collaboration with professional choir director, Janet
Swain, and music ranging from pop to folk to gospel, the goal is to
energise and uplift the mums (but hopefully the babies will enjoy it
too!).
-
Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Singapore -
The Philharmonic
Chamber Choir is about versatility and adaptability, with a
challenging repertoire that frequently goes off the beaten path to
reproduce the percussive sounds of the lion dance, or the
nonsensical syllables of a Filipino children's chant. Never a choir
to shrink from vocal adventure, TPCC has combed Singapore's large
international community for coaches in such languages as Hungarian,
Mongolian and Austrian dialect to perfect its performances. Yet the
choir still excels at giving voice to the great traditions of
Western classical music, both a cappella and oratorio.
-
Republic Chorale (Republic Polytechnic Choir) -
The Republic Chorale was formed in
August 2003 with the support of advisor Mr. Varian Lim who is also
actively involved in a vocal group call IN TUNE. We started with a
humble 12 member strong choir consisting of 4 Male and 8 Female
singers, with 5 main sections, Basses, Tenors, Altos, Soprano 1 and
Soprano 2. Despite the small group of 10 people, we have made our
voices heard on only in The Republic but also to the public.
-
RVChorale (alumni site) -
Presently, there are about 30 members
in the choir alumni and the number is expected to increase. The
choir alumni would serve as an extension to the RV Choir, thus
ensuring dedicated talents are not lost when the choir members
graduate. To achieve professional recognition, we intend to take
part in the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM)
choral examinations.
- Singapore
International Festival Chorus IFC is a secular choir
with a mix of Singaporean and Expat members from all over the
world (10 nationalities sang in the last concert). We perform 2
concerts each year covering a wide range of styles. Our most
recent concert included Mozart Vespers, Cole Porter songs and
Japanese lullabies. The styles varied but the common feature in
the programme was the high standard of musicianship that each
piece required. We all enjoy good music, but we also enjoy
good company and believe that the social side of the choir is
important. Expect to be invited to several social events each
year. You don’t have to sight sing to join our choir and our
Musical Director doesn’t audition potential members, but we do
need members to attend a sufficient number of rehearsals to meet
performance standards. The members are very supportive and will
often arrange informal sectional rehearsals.
-
Singapore Symphony Chorus - The Singapore Symphony Chorus is
one of the finest choirs in South East Asia, performing 3-4 times
annually with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra at the Esplanade
Concert Hall. We are an amateur choir, 100 strong and growing, with
members coming from all walks of life and from all over the world.
We are always looking for new members to boost our strength.
-
Singapore Youth Choir Ensemble Singers - The SYC Ensemble
Singers (Formerly the Singapore Youth Choir) is a year older than
independent Singapore and one the longest serving community choirs
in the Nation.
-
Victoria Chorale -
Started by Mr Nelson Kwei in 1988, Victoria Chorale is one of
Singapore's top semi-professional choirs. Comprising graduates of
Victoria School and Victoria Junior College, the choir presently has
33 singers and performs an extensive repertoire ranging from sacred
Latin works to contemporary Asian songs and light jazz.
-
Vox Camerata -
We named
ourselves after the Florentine Camerata in the simple spirit that we
are simply people coming from all walks of lives to discuss and
learn more about the melodious delights our voices can actually
create. Some knew nothing about singing, except for the days of
music classes back in primary school; others have varied experiences
in choirs at various levels or just plainly enjoy belting out the
occasional song in a karaoke bar. In a nutshell, we've all been
drawn like a moth to a candleflame, in our weekly discovery of the
simple delight, of making music.
