Crescent Girls School Choir
Singapore
The 65-strong Crescent Girls’ Choir, aged 13 to 16, has established itself to be a respectable girls choir in Singapore. After appointing the award-winning conductor Toh Ban Sheng in 2012, with a team of dedicated teachers Esther Lau, Zee Xinyi and Samantha Chan, the choir has achieved many milestones and experienced great transformation. Barely two years under the baton of the conductor, Crescent Girls’ Choir won the Distinction Certificate – the highest accolade - in the Singapore Youth Festival this year. 2013 also saw the choir bag the “Best CCA Award” in the Champion Seminar.
