Songs are found in every culture and woven into daily life. While there are those that are from our childhood or tell of stories long ago, there are some which are part of rituals, and others which sing of the dance in our heart and feet .
From the sacred poetry Hildegarde von Bingen and the kulning calls of Swedish folk-hymn to the island dances of Japan and the sassy skirt-twirling dances of Latin America, The Methodist Girls’ School Choir celebrates life in every aspect, through song in this special choral performance.
About the Methodist Girls' School Choir
The Methodist Girls’ School Choir has been sharing the joy of music and singing through performances and competitions since their formation. One of 30 school choirs on Singapore’s Ministry of Education’s Choral Excellence Programme, the choir received the Gold award for the 4th Ambassador of the Arts Awards (2004) and has consistently achieved Gold awards in the biennial Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging Choir Competition. Representing Singapore in international festival-competitions, the Choir has toured San Francisco (1999), Athens (2004), Bratislava (2007) and Prague (2007) and returned with excellent results.
Coached by Ms Jennifer Tham since 1998 and Albert Tay since 2005, the choir’s wide-ranging repertoire embraces the work of living composers, contemporary sacred and art music as well as spiritual and gospel.
