Sang Myung Master Choral Concert

** This is an imported blog post from Sophie's personal blog, dated January 20, 2011.

I had the opportunity to attend the Sang Myung Master Choral (SMCC) Concert which was held on Jan 19 at the Auditorium of Sabah Theological Seminary. They were invited by the Sabah Council of Churches and it was also their inaugural performance outside of Korea.

Deb picked me up and drove up the lil hill to the STS hostel. From there we walked up the steps to the new auditorium.

It was my first time there and the spanking new auditorium was impressive!

 



The 25-member choir were led by Chang Eun Im, the conductor, and accompanied by three pianists. The SMMC was founded in 2004 and is composed of vocal major students from the college of music of Sang Myung University.


One of my favourite songs, Nella Fantasia, was sung that night since it is all the rage now in Korea. It is due to a KBS variety show, The Qualification of Men, which had featured the process of an assembled choir practicing for and participating in a national choir competition.

I enjoyed myself so much that night! It was indeed a world class performance of beautiful voices in harmony.
