Young Choral Academy (YCA) is Malaysia’s first academy for choral music, and a leading hub for choral education and choral singing activities. Founded in 2007 by Susanna Saw and Chow Wei Heng, it is a welcoming and beautiful space for people from all walks of life and ages, to discover the joy of singing in a choir, to explore and develop this into a passion in a positive and nurturing environment.
Working with the Ministry of Education of Malaysia, Young Choral Academy is the proud organizer of the Malaysian Choral Eisteddfod (MCE), one of Malaysia’s leading independent festivals for choral music and the umbrella platform for the annual National Choir Competition and the biennial International Choral Festival. This platform also integrates series of workshops, masterclasses, open rehearsals, outreach programmes and competition which is open to choirs and conductors from Malaysia and abroad.
