The SSC was initiated in 1980 under the direction of Choo Hoey, then Music Director of the SSO. The SSC gave its first performances in June 1980.
The SSC's present chorus master is Lim Yau, and most concerts are performed at Singapore's Esplanade Concert Hall.
The associated children's choir is SSCC - Singapore Symphony Children's Choir.

Famous quotes containing the words symphony and/or chorus:
“The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man—that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense—has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Geoff Carter: Chorus girl?
Bonnie Lee: No, I do a specialty.
Geoff: So much the better.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
