Since starting out in 2005, SMC has experimented with vastly different music genres, languages, themes, formats, venues in our 8 concerts so far:
• Mad About Musicals! (Dec 2005)
- first full concert, exploring different styles in a wide range of musicals
• Love's Journey (Jun 2006)
- different expressions of love in its various stages & forms, from different lands & cultures; first exploration of the new Drama Centre
• With Every Christmas Card I Write... (Dec 2006)
- first Christmas-themed concert and first exploration of the Victoria Concert Hall
• From boys to MEN in a hundred years (Oct 2007)
– first collaboration with a boys’ choir, exploring the expanded musical capabilities from boys to men. And for the men, we relived our younger days by performing in a school.
• Sing Out Loud! (Nov 2007)
- first exploration of the Esplanade Recital Studio, and experimenting with a theme of let-your-hair-down exuberance (with some serious choreography!)
• Sing With Us Under the Mistletoe (Dec 2007)
– first small-scale, intimate caroling session with audience sing-along.
• Sing Out Loud @ The Movies (Oct 2008)
– first foray into making short films, and interweaving them with song, dance and other movie-inspired elements. First time giving audience an opportunity to mingle over drinks during intermission. First time experiencing NAFA's Lee Foundation Theatre (similarly for many people in the audience).
• Sing Out Loud on Broadway (Oct 2009)
– first mini-musical with twice the audience over two days at NAFA's Lee Foundation Theatre.
It’s also been a privilege collaborating with different musicians – song writers, arrangers, choreographers and instrumentalists, besides guest performing at concerts by other vocal groups and charities.
Most of all, we’ve had such fun making music with one another and for our audience.
