Representing Singapore in international festival-competitions, choir has toured San Francisco (1999), Athens (2004), Bratislava (2007) and Prague (2007) and returned with excellent results.

Coached by Ms Jennifer Tham since 1998 and Albert Tay since 2005, the choir’s wide-ranging repertoire embraces the work of living composers, contemporary sacred and art music as well as spiritual and gospel.

The MGS Choir will be performing a variety of pieces, including "De vitae vanitate" by György Orban, "Mihara yassa bushi" by Ko Matsushita and "Swing Songs" by Veljo Tormis. Given the proximity of SYF (the earliest being 15 Apr 09), they will definitely be performing the pieces which they will choose for adjudication.
