The Mad Singers
Founded in 2021, The Mad Singers is a chamber choir based in Hong Kong SAR, China. The ensemble is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of choral talent and broadening artistic horizons through participation in leading international festivals and competitions.
About The Mad Singers
Since its inception, The Mad Singers have distinguished themselves on the world stage, earning accolades across Asia and Europe. They were Grand Prix finalists at the 73rd International Polyphonic Competition Guido d’Arezzo, where they won First Place in the Secular Category and were named 'The Most Promising Emerging Choir.'
In 2024, they secured First Place in the Chamber Choir Category and received special awards for interpretation and conductor performance at the International Choir Competition 'Prof. Georgi Dimitrov' in Varna, Bulgaria. The choir was also honoured with the 'Choir of the World Award' at the 2024 World Youth & Children’s Choir Festival – Hong Kong and claimed the title of 'Grand Prix Champion' at the 2023 Taipei International Choral Competition.
Their pursuit of excellence has led to invitations to prestigious platforms such as the World Choral Championships and competitions within the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing network. In addition, the ensemble has worked with renowned conductors including Luigi Marzola, Peter Dijkstra, Ragnar Rasmussen, and Urša Lah.
Beyond their achievements, The Mad Singers have evolved from a passion project among friends into a cohesive ensemble defined by trust, camaraderie, and artistry. Their performances combine technical precision with expressive depth, bringing audience music that is both authentic and inspiring.
In August 2026, The Mad Singers will be representing Hong Kong as the first mixed choir invited by the International Federation for Choral Music to perform at the World Symposium on Choral Music.
