ONE represented Singapore for the first time at the 10th World Choir Games, held in Tshwane, South Africa. The choir competed in three categories: Mixed Choir, Musica Contemporanea, and Pop - of which the last category was our first time challenging the genre. ONE emerged category champions for Mixed Choir, and clinched gold medals for the other two.
The choir was also heartened and humbled to spend time with the warm and passionate Ndlovu Youth Choir - A Chorus of African Song and Dance, under the baton of Ralf Schmitt, for a dynamic choral exchange and matinee concert for the community.

ONE in Marktoberdorf
Competing in the 15th International Chamber Choir Competition Marktoberdorf 2017 in Germany, ONE tied for 2nd prize at the Mixed choirs category, and won the Special prize of the Carl-Orff-Stiftung Diessen am Ammersee for best interpretation of a choral work premiered at the competition - The Emigrant, by Wolfram Buchenberg.
The experience was a fun-filled learning journey as we had various opportunities to perform for the community, whether in a marketplace, a church, or in a concert hall. We also interacted with many choirs of different nationalities and cultures, often spontaneously bursting into song!
