Soon after the 54 members of the Voices of Singapore Children's Choir broke out of their musical reverie, their dreams came true as their performance won them second prize at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod.
The choir performed two songs by its founder and local composer Darius Lim - Ave Maria, which was penned during the the Covid-19 pandemic, and Children Of Light.
Throughout the theatrical performance, which lasted 6½ minutes, the children - dressed in black swayed along with drawling notes and broke into sharp and synchronised hand gestures during the staccato parts.
Lauded by the judges for an excellent performance, the choir earned a score of 93 out of 100 and clinched second place in the Senior Children's Choirs category for singers aged 12 to 18-winning £200 (S$345) in prize money.
