The choir performed two songs by its founder and local composer Darius Lim.
SINGAPORE – “Is this a dream?” sang a blend of young voices from Singapore on a music festival stage in Wales on July 3.
Throughout the theatrical performance, which lasted 6½ minutes, the children – dressed in black – swayed along with drawling notes and broke into sharp and synchronised hand gestures during the staccato parts. Choir member Choo Yong Han, 17, said he was filled with anxiety, excitement and disbelief during the festival.
Crescent Girls’ School student Eiliyah Adeena, 14, said the festival was “an experience like no other”. Voices of Singapore Children’s Choir was formed in 2019 by Lim. It has performed locally and abroad, including a collaboration with the Singapore Armed Forces band to record the Singapore National Anthem in 2022, and hitting the stage at New York’s Carnegie Hall in 2023.
