Choir Tours and Choral Exchanges

Bringing our repertoire (and singers) beyond Singapore’s shores, our choir tours and choral exchanges provide SCS singers with valuable opportunities to engage in musical and cultural exchanges. We are excited to start touring again, with plans to perform and compete internationally over the following years.

Masterclasses and Workshops

While we are a fun-loving bunch, we are also serious about music! In order to perform a vast array of choral literature at the highest level, our rehearsals take on an educational slant. With a focus on broadening our singers’ musical horizons and improving vocal technique, SCS provides opportunities to sing and learn alongside music professionals.
