More than 1,000 musicians belting out for ChildAid in 2 virtual choirs


Organised by The Straits Times and The Business Times, the ChildAid 2020 concert debuting online on Wednesday night (July 15) features not one, but two virtual choirs – and one of them making history as one of the most internationally diverse virtual choirs ever assembled.

Led by maestro Wong Kah Chun, the Singaporean chief conductor of the Nuremberg Symphony, the choir comprises more than 1,000 singers and instrumentalists from 25 countries, including Japan, the United States and China. They have come together to perform and sing Beethoven's Ode To Joy, in part to mark the legendary composer's 250th birth anniversary.
