Formed in April 2003 by Malaysian choral conductor and pedagogue Susanna Saw, who remains its Artistic Director, The Kuala Lumpur Children’s Choir course is Malaysia’s first comprehensive choral singing programme for children aged between 6 –14 years. From its home at the Young Choral Academy (YCA), Malaysia’s first academy for the training of choirs and a leading hub for choral education, the primary philosophy of the course is to introduce choral singing as a healthy activity for children in a fun and relaxed environment based on the Kodaly Method of teaching.

The choir has won many prizes and awards and made successful tours to Australia, Austria, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Latvia, Singapore and South Korea. They have also collaborated and shared the stage with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO), Kuala Lumpur City Opera (KLCO), and several other international ensembles.
