 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 Heart, ONE Voyage

ONE explored a repertoire of not just enchanting choral music from Germany, Japan, South Africa, Finland, and America - just to name a few - but also familiar pop songs with a unique choral twist on this evening at the Victoria Concert Hall. The concert was a first look at the performances we had prepared for the World Choir Games in South Africa.

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!
