Asian Youth Choir for One (AYCO)

AYCO is an international youth choir composed of 40 musicians representing 10 nations of ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) and Korea, founded by Music for One Foundation, sponsored by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Korea.

The Artistic Director of Dithyrambic Singers, Assoc. Prof Ian Lim, and two of our members Sia Pei San and Gan Kee Huong, were selected as the representative of Malaysia through a competitive audition by the AYCO committee.

In December of 2014, two weeks of cultural arts and performance symposium was held in Jeju Island, Korea and a final grand concert was performed by the members of AYCO with an orchestra at KBS Hall in Seoul, South Korea.
