“The Chorus Without Borders” Charity Concert 2008 in Singapore

Note: this is a FREE concert. Caveat: this is a Tuesday concert. Here’s the (edited for grammar) blurb about this concert.

“The Chorus Without Borders” was established by the volunteers from all over Japan. The organization continuously find ways to help and encourage people from less fortunate Asian countries and deprived children through Charity Concerts and [musical] activities.

Known for their passion for Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Ode to Joy, which they brought to Vienna last year, The Chorus Without Borders had traveled the world and worked with numerous orchestras to spread the joy Beethoven left us.
