About the company
Vox Camerata is a non-profit registered society, whose main purpose is to advocate for the practice of choral music-making in Singapore. We aspire to be a centre of advocacy, discovery, learning and practice for choral music-making in Singapore and a bridge between local, regional and international communities.
Since our inception in 2004, Vox Camerata has gone through an amazing journey of discovering ourselves and the roles we play in the wider choral music community. When we first started, we held on to two fundamental values. The first is that everyone, irrespective of their background and ability, should be given a place and space to sing in the choir. Secondly, we strive our utmost best to make good music. We see these twin beliefs as two sides of the same coin, held together by a practice of teaching, mentoring and nurturing as a community.
In the last 16 years of fostering our community and making music together, our role within the choral music scene also began to grow as we built long-lasting friendships across the sector. Our concert series became platforms of opportunities to perform, with the intent to boost the visibility of choirs and communities that are underserved. We have incubated new choirs and continue to build strong relationships with other choirs as well as professional musicians.
In order to better serve the wider choral music community, Vox Camerata has established a board of directors, whose membership is drawn from both the community choir and from the wider community. The board of directors will ensure that good governance is practiced, operationally as well as artistically, as we work towards becoming a registered charity in the near future.
