SYNOPSIS
Join the Cedar Girls’ Choral Excellence Choir as they present sacred and secular songs across a wide range of musical genres including traditional folk, jazz, contemporary, madrigals and opera arias. This concert will also feature a chamber ensemble as well as solo and duet performances.
The Cedar Girls’ Choral Excellence Choir—under the direction of Ms Naomi Chye—has distinguished itself as a Gold Award choir at the biennial Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging, receiving the Gold with Honours award in 2005, 2007 and 2011. The Choir has also done Singapore proud by garnering several awards at overseas competitions: Musica Religiosa in the Czech Republic; The Pacific Basin Music Festival in Hawaii; The International Music Festival in Australia; and the Bournemouth Music Maker Festival in the United Kingdom.
The Choir actively promotes cultural awareness through choral exchanges with high schools from Japan, Hong Kong and the A Cappella Choir Villach from Austria. The mission to share the passion for choral music with the community is also realised through a collaboration with the Singapore vocal group Budak Pantai and The Singapore American School Choir and Orchestra.
