Committed to artistic excellence, its dedicated members rehearse weekly, performing at celebrated venues like Victoria Concert Hall and the Esplanade. Under the baton of world-class conductors such as Okko Kamu, Lan Shui, Lim Yau, Masaaki Suzuki, and Sofi Jeannin, the SSC has built a rich repertoire featuring masterpieces like Tippett’s A Child of Our Time, Arvo Pärt’s Te Deum, Britten’s War Requiem, and Bach’s St John Passion.

The chorus’s unwavering dedication to delivering outstanding performances makes the SSC a leading choral ensemble - a shining example of music’s power to unite people across generations and cultures.
