SICF is organised by ONE Choral Company and Rave Group Int'l and is a member of the Choral Festival Network. The Singapore International Choral Festival has been a staple in the local and regional choral calendar since 2014 before it was interrupted by the global pandemic. SICF makes a return in 2023 and we hope that you will join us yet again for four days of choral immersion. Join us in Singapore as we renew friendships across borders and once again indulge in our common love for choral music.

Hands reaching out in solidarity.
Eyes lit with hope and love.
Excitement caught mid-breath.

These aren’t just frames.
They’re proof that when people gather to sing, something in them opens.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to stand in a moment like this, is waiting.
