Uncle Triem (as the Choir members call him), and his wife Thanh set up the Hope Choir 10 years ago. They have trained and encouraged the choir in performing Vietnamese folk songs as well as songs and music from numerous countries, singing in many different languages including English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Malaysian and African.
