VOICES OF SINGAPORE CHILDREN’S CHOIR (VOSCC)

The Voices of Singapore Children’s Choir was formed in 2019 by acclaimed Singaporean Conductor-Composer Darius Lim. Today, the 440-strong children’s choir boasts one of the most comprehensive music choral training programmes on the island with a progressive system of both training and performing choirs. The choir has established connections with renowned children’s choirs, providing exclusive opportunities for singers to be exposed to some of the world’s best masterclasses, exchanges and performances.

Starlight Voices

Starlight Voices is a choir comprising talents with special needs. It aims to use choral music to inspire these children, and create awareness that choral excellence is not exclusive to neurotypical children. The choir is helmed by Ms Tham Pei Wen, who is passionate about bringing the joy of music to children with special needs. She holds a Masters of Education, as well as a Masters of Arts from the Kodály Institute in Hungary. The choir made its debut at the Presidents’ Star Charity in 2022 and have since been invited to sing at other national-level projects.

Vos Ladies Choir

Formally founded in 2014 as VOCO Singapore Ladies Choir by Artistic Director Darius Lim, they are the first independent allfemale choir in Singapore. Consisting of semi-professional singers, musicians, educators and passionate amateurs, the choir joined VOS Choral Society at its inception in 2019 and was since renamed VOS Ladies Choir. In June 2016, the choir embarked on their first international European tour, where they travelled to give concerts in Amsterdam, Krakow, London (England), Great Rissington and Cardiff (Wales). During the tour, the choir was awarded the 2nd Prize in the Chamber Choir category of the 2016 Cracovia Cantans International Choir Competition in Krakow, Poland. The choir most recently received the Gold award at the 2021 World Choir Festival.
