THE LARKS SHALL SING!


Proudly celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Kuala Lumpur Children's Choir (KLCC) is staging a two-day concert production on the 23rd and 24th November 2013, at The Actors Studio @ KuAsh Theatre, TTDI. The production achieved yet another milestone with their concert themed, 'Celebrations!' Featuring all levels of the choir, they will be bringing you Malaysian folk songs and showtunes from the musical theatre. Do catch some of the popular tunes such as Jinkly Nona, songs from Bee Gees, Chicago musical and much more!

The choir was formed in 2003 by Susannah Saw, the choir's Artistic Director, inspired by a passion for singing and music, and to bring international acclaim to local choir performers. The choir comprises more than a hundred young singers, and is extensively travelled, having performed in Australia, Austria, China, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea and Singapore. The choir is certainly no stranger to international competitions, having won a Gold Diploma in the Open Category in the 2010 World Choir Games in Shaoxing, China. They have also been invited to perform at several notable festivals and events overseas, such as the Singapore International Youth Choir Festival and the 20th International Kodaly Symposium in Brisbane, Australia. They have performed and collaborated with many well-known ensembles and choirs including the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra and the All-American Boys Choir on two occasions, amongst others. Several of its alumni members are now award-winning young musicians in their own right, including one who is presently singing with the famed Vienna Boys' Choir.

Having been around for a decade, KLCC nurtures children to sing in a choir to develop teamwork, discipline and leadership. It develops choral and musicianship skills from young, through a systemic and planned programmed based on the Kodaly method, with the aim of building a strong choral culture in Malaysia.

We are immensely proud of Tenby International School's very own singing larks. Show
these kids some support! Catch Alexandria Catherine Chua, Bernadine Jeanne De Witt, Keisha Wee, Sylvia Yew and Naqjib Jaafar and other choir members in their two-day performance at the KuAsh Theatre (map below). The kids find their singing sessions fun and uplifting. If these kids' positive energy is anything to go by, we're pretty sure the concert will be a memorable performance that everybody can enjoy.

COME WATCH US PERFORM!
