The 10th Malaysian Choral Eisteddfod (MCE) Choral Competition

The Malaysian Choral Eisteddfod (or MCE, formerly known as the Young Singers Choral Festival) was founded in 2003 by two Malaysian choral conductors, Ms Susanna Saw (now Music Director of
the Young Choral Academy) and Mr Mak Chi Hoe.

It aims at providing a channel for young singers to learn, interact and perform. A growing number of choral music enthusiasts have ever since been exposed to a wide spectrum of international choral trends and developments. This annual event has been instrumental in promoting choral music in Malaysia, serving as a music educational platform. Since the MCE became international in 2009, the event has raised attention on an even wider platform.

Choral conductors and choirs have found the Eisteddfod in Kuala Lumpur to be a hub of choral education in the Southeast Asian Region.

Perak Society of Performing Arts will be organising together with the Young Choral Academy and Dana Belia the 10th Malaysian Choral Eisteddfod (MCE) Choir Competition which will include school choirs, children's choirs, young adult choirs from this region.  The aim is to provide a platform for choirs to showcase their passion for choral singing through workshops, competition and fellowship. With the vision to promote choral development in Malaysia, international judges will be invited to judge the competition and give their expert assessment to encourage the improvement of these talents.

A Total of 16 choirs will compete in four categories.

PSPA is hopeful that it will draw talented singers not only to participate in this competition, but to enjoy Perak's warm hospitality and wonderful local delicacies. It will promote fellowship among our local talents with visiting talents.
