Voices Of Singapore celebrates sixth anniversary with pleasurable concert

There is no vehicle of musical expression as personal as one’s voice, and music-making becomes pleasure multiplied manifold when people sing together.

- Chang Tou Liang

That is the credo of Voices Of Singapore (VOS), the nation's largest singing organisation, with more than 2,000 members in 30 separate choirs.

VOS, founded by choral conductor and composer Darius Lim, celebrated its sixth anniversary with an enjoyable mega-concert showcasing over 400 voices led by nine choral conductors.

While diversity, equity and inclusivity have become divisive in certain nations, these are the very qualities that hold Singapore together, evident by the variety of musical items on show.

The evening kicked off with the VOS Children's Choir (led by Lim Jing Xuan) singing Liong Kit Yeng's Little Red Dot, a fun piece that recounted what makes Singapore unique local food and the MRT.
