ENSEMBLES 2008

Wenzhou Dandelion Chorus

The Wenzhou Dandelion Choir Group was established in 2006 under the auspices of the Wenzhou City Teenagers Association. There are a total of 38 members in this choir, all of whom have been selected from the top students in the Wenzhou Primary and Middle Schools. They practice and train outside of regular school hours - and with success: already the Wenzhou Dandelion Choir Group has won top awards at various important music competitions both nationally and beyond China. The Choir has won first place at the second Shenyang International Teenagers Music Festival in 2007, as well as the "Golden Buddha" prize at the Hong Kong Teenager Music & Dance Festival in 2008.
