The song “Oye”,  aka “AsÉ›m papa bia mate”, composed by the Executive Director was also recognised as the most popular song at the 2014 edition of the CCML Music Awards. The choir was once again adjudged the best choral group in Ghana at the Music of Ghanaian Origin (MOGO) awards held in 2015. HC is also recipient of the Excellence Leadership Awards (ExLA Awards) for Arts & Entertainment Personality of the Year (Gold Category) in 2015, as well as the best choral group of the year 2015, at the maiden edition of the Ghana Youth Choir Choral Festival Awards held on 21st September, 2016.
