The IFCM Asia Pacific Working Committee was first formed at the IFCM Asia Pacific Choral Summit (Wuxi, China) in 2009 and was re-organised at the Asia Pacific
Choral Summit held in Macau, in February 2011. With committee members - conductors, administrators and other patrons of the choral arts - representing a
cross-section of voices of the region, we hope to foster and nurture the development of choirs and choral music in the Asia Pacific region. Through collaboration
and exchange, we hope to learn from one another. Through music, we hope to connect with each other, to bring together as many different peoples as possible for
a singular purpose - to be instruments for peace and understanding. We began this journey of hope with the formation of the Asia Pacific Youth Choir which, after
a successful debut in Macau (Feb 2011), continues to be our sounding symbol for respect, love and joy among the peoples of this culturally diverse region.
