More about WOWS Choir

WOWS Choir is a unique choral group concept in WA.  Members of WOWS Choir are from different backgrounds. WOWS Choir would like to take the audience to the parts of the world where songs and dances come from Middle East, Asia and Europe.

This event is dedicated to hidden musicians and artists with great talent and passion to music and art, like my mother, whom did not have the opportunity to practise due to cultural and financial barriers.‘ – Filiz Shah

WOWS choir is singing in English, Chinese, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Persian, Romanian, Spanish, Turkish and many more languages. An ensemble of accomplished musicians on western and eastern instruments is accompanying the choir on the stage.

Songs will be presented along with custom made dance choreographies by professional dance artists to convey the message, story, and the emotion of the songs.
