Blending smooth harmonies with hard-hitting powerful notes, the choir, which met just two weeks ago, were the only group to win two awards at ChoirFest Middle East 2016 for their debut performance.
Eklectic won in two categories, snatching the coveted ‘Best Corporate Choir’ and ‘Runner-up for Best Choir’ awards.
The group got together to celebrate their mutual passion for singing and performing to compete at the latest edition of ChoirFest Middle East.
EKlectic had just three days of collective rehearsals in their free time to ensure they were ready to compete with seasoned choirs from the UAE and the region.
