Choir

Welcome to Choir, or as we say it backwards, rioHC! 

 

At rioHC, we emphasise inculcating teamwork and resilience in our members, to provide a welcoming environment for all. 

 

rioHC is supported by our wonderful teachers-in-charge, Mr Colin Loy and Mrs Cheong-Ng Siok Ching Crystal, along with our experienced resident conductor, Ms Lim Ai Hooi. 

 

We have rehearsals on Mondays from 4 to 7pm, and Wednesdays from 3 to 6pm. Before joining our CCA, we look for basic competency in rhythm, listening and pitching. Besides those skills, we learn music theory, vocal technique, as well as countless unique songs from a variety of cultures, languages, and genres during CCA. 

 

Through the expertise of our conductor and the hard work devoted by the choir, rioHC has attained consecutive Certificates of Distinction in the SYF Arts Presentation from 2013 to 2023 and consecutive Gold with Honours awards at the biennial SYF Central Judging of Choirs from 2005 to 2011. Moreover, we have attained multiple gold medals and top prizes in prestigious international competitions, such as the 38th Festival of Songs in Olomouc, 60th European Music Festival for Young People in Belgium, the 8th World Choir Games in Latvia and the 39th Florilege Vocal de Tours in France.

 

Through it all, rioHC is more than a CCA. It is a family. 

It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, to make your JC life enjoyable and meaningful! So, what are you waiting for? 

 

Join our rioHC family and look forward to performing at events like in-house concerts, Chinese New Year, National Day, Arts Fest and the Singapore Youth Festival! You can also enjoy carolling at a hotel during the Christmas season! Do follow our instagram account @riohc to learn more about our CCA and for updates on our performances, events and open sessions.
