Synopsis

Tonight, let ONE Chamber Choir take you through Life.

Life as we know it, and life as it could be.

As we navigate the rat race in pursuit of creature comforts.

As we negotiate our emotions and fall in and out of love.

As we grieve our lost loves and mourn life's transience.

As we awaken to a new purpose for the greater good.

As we commit to being the change.

Listen to us.

And listen to yourself.

ONE Chamber Choir, directed by Ms Lim Ai Hooi, is a dynamic young adult choir established in June 2009. Currently comprising 45 singers with extensive choral experience, the choir has achieved notable success on the international stage, including winning the Champion title in the Mixed Chamber Choir category at the World Choir Games.

 

In addition to its competitive accolades, the choir has hosted renowned international clinicians, such as Maestro Werner Pfaff from Germany, Maestro Māris Sirmais from Latvia and Maestro André van der Merwe from South Africa, as part of a concert series that explores new genres of choral music. ONE Chamber Choir aims to revolutionise choral performance by challenging conventional norms and delivering a uniquely ONE experience.

Ms Lim Ai Hooi (Artistic Director)

Lim Ai Hooi is a passionate choral conductor and educator whose philosophy emphasises sincerity, love and excellence in music. Originally from Penang, Malaysia, she graduated from the Royal College of Music in London and has made a significant impact on the choral scene in Singapore. In addition to conducting several local secondary and junior college choirs, Ai Hooi founded ONE Chamber Choir and has led her choirs to numerous international accolades, including twice clinching the Champion title at the World Choir Games. She has also served as a jury member at many international choral festivals. In 2010, she co-founded Sourcewerkz PL to further influence the global choral community by organising festivals and workshops that have reached thousands of choristers worldwide.
