The Nagaland Madrigal Singers, founded in September 2023 by conductor Hito Kiho, is an ensemble comprising professionally trained graduates from music conservatories. In July 2024, barely eight months after its formation, the choir represented India at the 13th World Choir Games in Auckland, New Zealand, where it won gold medals in both the Mixed Chamber Choir and Contemporary Music Mixed Voices categories — a remarkable debut on the global choral stage.

Their repertoire spans classical sacred works, Naga and Asian folk music, international folk songs, and contemporary pieces, showcasing both cultural heritage and artistic versatility. This achievement brought immense pride to Nagaland and India, earning recognition from dignitaries including Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and honours such as a TaFMA Excellence Award for the group and its conductor.
