Introduction
Welcome to the ACS(BR) Choir Weblog!
The Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) Choir is currently under the direction of Mr. Phua Ee Kia. Choir was formed in 1996 and was named the Anglo-Chinese School Madrigal Choir. It has since changed its name to the current in 2006. The choir’s repertoire ranges from a cappella to accompanied works, as well as from classical to pop music.
