Ching-Yun’s years of hard work culminated in winning the Grand Prix in Taipei International Choral Competition in 2021 while also awarded three category championships and Conductor Cheng-Pu Paul Chang winning the Outstanding Conductor Award,. The choir’s other international footprints included the 2023 International Choral Competition of Tolosa, 2017 Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales, and Singapore International Choral Festival in 2014.
