7 Best Choirs to Join in Singapore (2026)

Singing in a group is one of the more social hobbies in Singapore, and you do not need training to start. This page looks at adult and community choirs that publish a way for the public to join, from no-audition community choruses to auditioned groups for experienced singers. School choirs and church choirs closed to non-members are left out. Each write-up draws on what the choir itself says about how to join, its style and its rehearsal pattern, and we have not ranked them. Intakes, seasons and audition dates change, so use the details here to shortlist two or three groups, then confirm timings with each one.

Voices of Singapore runs Chorus of the People, which its site describes as a non-auditioned adult choir open to people from all backgrounds, with a fun, non-competitive atmosphere. That makes it one of the easiest ways into choral singing for a complete beginner. The organisation lists two bases, a choral hub at Enabling Village in Lengkok Bahru and studios at Capitol Singapore, and says enquiries go through a dedicated communities email address or WhatsApp. Its wider programme also includes performance-focused state choirs, which it presents separately from the community option. The site does not publish rehearsal times on its overview page, so ask about the current season, day of the week and venue before you commit to anything.

Vox Camerata describes itself as a chamber choir, community choir and arts advocacy organisation, and its programmes page lays out two clear routes in. The Community Choir is listed as open to everyone, with no audition and no experience required, while the Chamber Singers ensemble is for experienced singers and asks for an audition application. Joining starts with an online enquiry form, and the site says it replies within two business days before you attend a first session. The site also shows audition dates for its chamber group in 2026, which suits experienced singers. Rehearsal days and venues are not printed on the pages we read, so confirm the current schedule and venue directly when you enquire.

International Festival Chorus calls itself Singapore's longest-standing community chorus, and its homepage marks 50 years of choral history. Its join page explains that the main chorus uses a short interview rather than an audition, in which you sing a song of your choice, match pitch and read basic notation, while its chamber choir is audition-based. The site lists weekly Tuesday evening rehearsals at the UWCSEA Dover campus and says it holds open rehearsals for prospective singers, registered through an online form. It also states a seasonal registration fee and attendance expectations before concerts, so read those terms first. The chorus says its membership is international and its repertoire spans classical to contemporary programmes.

The Singapore Symphony Chorus is the amateur chorus attached to the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, and it is the most demanding option on this list. Its pages say singers need to read music and have choral experience, and that auditions are open in every voice part, soprano, alto, tenor and bass. You apply through an audition form, and the site says auditions run on an ongoing basis except in the weeks before concerts. Weekly rehearsals are listed for Monday evenings at Victoria Concert Hall, with extra sessions before performances. The chorus describes a repertoire of symphonic choral masterworks alongside world music, and lists a Verdi Requiem project for April 2027. It publishes a choral department email for questions.

The Singapore Lyric Opera Adult Chorus is the choice for singers drawn to opera and Western classical repertoire. The company's page says the chorus was established in 1991 and welcomes people of all backgrounds who have a passion for opera or choral performance. Auditions are required: the page asks candidates to prepare two songs, at least one an opera aria, says art songs and show tunes can also be used, and notes that applicants must bring their own accompanist. Popular music, jazz standards and hymns are listed as not suitable for the audition. Registration is through an online form linked from the page, and the company lists its base at Goodman Arts Centre. The page names the chorus master and gives a general enquiry contact.

The VIBE Choir Singapore presents itself as a place where pop meets choir in Mandarin, which sets it apart from the Western classical and mixed-repertoire groups here. Its homepage points interested singers to a Sing With Us page, and that page says anyone wanting to join weekly choir sessions should message the group on WhatsApp. No audition requirement is stated on the pages we read, but the group does not spell out what experience it expects, so ask about that in your first message. The site notes a pause in its pop-up sessions and lists free public events in late 2025 and early 2026, so check its Instagram or WhatsApp for what is running now. It also invites enquiries from schools and companies.

Sing Song Social Club is a community choir founded by Singaporean musicians Aarika Lee, Benjamin Kheng, Nathan Hartono and Sandra Riley Tang, and it is the most casual entry here. Its Instagram bio calls it a community choir for singing, making friends and finding joy in music, and a National Gallery Singapore listing for a January 2026 session says there are no auditions and the session is open to experienced and amateur singers alike. Press coverage describes monthly gatherings that have grown to hundreds of participants. Session dates and venues change, so the practical route is to follow its Instagram account, which showed regular posts in September and October 2026, and sign up for the next session from there.
