IGC eNewsletter 1

...................................

 

We’re delighted to be welcoming so many girls to their 2026 classes and we have much to look forward to this year.

  • All girls have begun preparing for our Annual Concert on May 17 which will be held at the prestigious Ho Bee Auditorium – more details below,
  • After the success of last year's inaugural tour, we will be once again be offering the opportunity for a small group of IGC girls to travel to Sydney to perform at the Opera House in late November/early December with the Australian Girls Choir (AGC), and
  • The AGC International Touring Choir will visit Singapore in October following their time performing throughout France.

Thank you for allowing us the privilege of being part of your daughter’s education. We are committed to developing a community of resilient, happy young women who strive for excellence on and off the stage. We regularly hear that parents value the development of important life skills that come from involvement in the IGC including confidence, presentation, public speaking and leadership.

 

“I love that the choir helps her build confidence through performing, public speaking, and leadership opportunities. It also nurtures such important qualities like discipline, commitment, and resilience. I also really value that she’s exposed to so many different musical styles but most of all, I love the strong sense of belonging the choir creates. It’s such a positive, encouraging environment where wonderful friendships can grow.” Parent

 

We genuinely value feedback from parents and girls so we encourage you to make contact with us if there is something you wish to discuss. We also appreciate you sharing the word about the IGC with other Singapore families and girls who love to sing, dance and perform; we're currently offering the opportunity for girls to try a free class to experience our dynamic program in action.

In-Class Audition Workshop
Allegro, Avanti and Performing Choir only

 

During our Semester 2 program, IGC Instructors will nominate a small number of choristers to be considered for a special part in our end of semester concert. While not every chorister will receive a special part, we are committed to supporting the development of solo singing and performance skills for all girls. Therefore, Allegro and Avanti choristers will take part in a semi-formal In-Class Audition Workshop, which will be facilitated by their Instructor over two weeks on February 14 and 28. A chorister who misses one of these classes will still be considered.


Choristers in junior@igc will not be assessed formally, but we encourage you to speak with your daughter's regular Instructor if you would like feedback on her progress.

 

Choristers in Performing Choir will be assessed during the Performing Choir Rehearsal Day on March 1.
