About Choir
Welcome to Choir, or...when you say it backwards, rioHC! At rioHC, we emphasise inculcating teamwork and resilience to provide a welcoming environment for all. rioHC is supported by our wonderful teacher-in-charge, Mr Colin Loy, along with our experienced resident conductor, Ms Lim Ai Hooi, who ensures the smooth running of choir sessions. We have CCA on Mondays, 4-7 p.m., and Wednesdays, 3-6 p.m., during which we learn music theory, aural, rhythm, pitching and many interesting, unique songs!
Joining rioHC is more than simply joining a CCA. It is becoming a part of the Hwa Chong choir family. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, to make your JC life fruitful and fun. We welcome everyone, with and without music backgrounds! So, what are you waiting for? Join our rioHC family and look forward to performing at events like Chinese New Year, National Day, Arts Fest and the Singapore Youth Festival! You might even have the chance to perform at the Esplanade or go carolling at Gardens by the Bay in your time here!
