About the VOS Ladies Choir

Formally founded in 2014 as VOCO Singapore Ladies Choir by Artistic Director Darius Lim, the choir is the first independent all-female choral ensemble in Singapore. Consisting of semi-professional singers, musicians, educators and passionate amateurs, the choir joined VOS Choral Society at its inception in 2019 and was since renamed VOS Ladies Choir (VSL).

The choir has performed with Philomela (Finland), University of London Chamber Choir, The Coronation Singers, and numerous other ensembles.

In June 2016, the choir embarked on their first international European tour, where they travelled to give concerts in Amsterdam, Krakow, London (England), Great Rissington and Cardiff (Wales). During the tour, the choir was awarded the 2nd Prize in the Chamber Choir category of the 2016 Cracovia Cantans International Choir Competition in Krakow, Poland.

In 2021, the choir received the Gold award at the World Choir Festival. More recently in 2023, VSL won the Grand Prix (overall best choir) at the 16th International Festival of Advent and Christmas Music in Bratislava, Slovakia. The choir competed in two categories, receiving Gold Bands for both, and was also the category winner for Female Adult Choirs.
