  • Voices of Singapore is proud to present the Singapore Virtual Choir Project with Dick Lee's "Home".
    Over 900 voices of people living in Singapore together with Singaporeans from 26 countries around the world unite to sing for hope, strength, and love in the first ever Singapore Virtual Choir. We believe that music has the power to bring us together.
    Singing the nation’s most well-loved song, "Home" written by Dick Lee with choral arrangement by Darius Lim, the Singapore Virtual Choir initiative has demonstrated the resilience of Singapore as a country. It has been incredibly heartwarming to witness the extraordinary strength, love and support from those in Singapore, as well as Singaporeans all around the world. Wherever we are in the world, we are proud to be the voices of our nation - We are SGUnited.
    Presented by Voices of Singapore, supported by Singapore Tourism Board (STB), and partnered by Pink Noise and Createurs Productions.

      One of my best friend is from Bosnia, (she is ethnic Serbian) and after I projyect I made for my class about Singapore, she was overwhelmed and wanted to live in a place like the tiny red dot. I hope one day the Blakans will be more like Singapore, specially Kosovo and Bosnia. People from different ethnic background living together in armony for the well of their country.
      The Balkans has much to learn about Singapore.

    ...We'll find a way to start anew..." Never has the lyrics which we sang for 22 years meant this much to us. Thank you Singapore!
