FIND lion dances a bit loud? Looking for something different to usher in the Year of the Rabbit?
Why not consider The Voices of Dignity, a choir that renders traditional and contemporary festive songs this lunar new year.
As a change from cymbals and drums, treat guests and employees to a medley of Mandarin songs including Tian Mi Mi, Flower Drum, Gong Xi Ni, Ta Fei Nian and Kan Ding.
The 16-person choir is made up of youngsters of various ethnicities – Orang Asli, Indian and Chinese – who had been practising for the celebration.
It is led by Petrina Satvinder, Dignity for Children Foundation co-founder and chief executive officer.
“These children are amazing given the fact that many started without being able to speak a word of English.
“Now they can sing in English and Mandarin, which is a great achievement,” said Petrina in a statement issued by the foundation.
