About the Artistic DirectorAn accomplished Singaporean and choral director, Francis

at the age of 18. He has sung with several premier choirs

in Singapore and conducted his church choirs from 1980-

2004. He started training school choirs in 1999 and

presently conducts 9 school choirs. His forte is the ability to

work with young and ordinary choirs and transform theminto respectable choirs in a very short time. Several of them have blossomed into award-

winning choirs both locally and internationally. The Singing Saints, the top boys treble choir

in Singapore, is one fine example. The choir has garnered 3 consecutive Gold (With

the Gold Diploma at the 36th Festival of Songs, Olomouc, Czech Republic. Believing in
