Shillong Chamber Choir

It seems only fair to expect that when our souls reach the pearly gates, we will hear the music of the Shillong Chamber Choir (SCC) as background score. No matter what you've heard of the SCC, watching them perform live is an ethereal experience unlike any other. The SCC was founded in 2001 by Neil Nongkynrih to be a multi-genre choir. While they had already made waves in North East and abroad with their unique style of rendering songs in various languages, their shot to fame countrywide was their 2010 victory in the reality TV show, India's Got Talent.

Their outstanding music features pieces from Khasi folk as well as Handel, Bach, Gershwin, Mozart and Nongkynrih’s own compositions.

The SCC’s trademark has always been their ability to surprise listeners with medleys that blend the familiar and the unfamiliar. Their Bollywood and western classical pieces such as ‘My Heart will go on’/’Dil Hai Chhota Sa’ and ‘Eena Meena Deeka/’I Got Rhythym’ are medleys that leave a lasting impression.


From performing at the Rashtrapati Bhavan for Obama’s presidential state visit to India to being asked to compose the Vande Mataram anthem for the landing of the Chandrayan moon mission, to performances with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and the Fitz William Quartet, the SCC's versatile music is reaching every part of the world and beyond. Along the way the SCC have won a clutch of prestigious awards and accolades such as the Forbes persons of the year and People magazine’s heroes of the month.

Listen to them perform their rendition of Vande Mataram at Raymond MTV India Music Summit, 2019
