"CCP, PHIL. MADRIGAL SINGERS & BATANGAS CITY HOLD MUSIC
CAMP & OUTREACH FOR SING PHILIPPINES YOUTH CHOIR (SPYC)"
THE Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) through its
Cultural Exchange Department (CED) and the Philippine Madrigal Singers (MADz)
through the Andrea O. Veneracion Sing Philippines Foundation Inc. (AOVSPFI), in
partnership with Batangas City, one of CCP’s Kaisa sa Sining Regional Arts
Center in Luzon, hold a regional music camp with outreach concerts featuring
the Sing Philippines Youth Choir (SPYC) tour group of 2019-2020, in Batangas
City from August 20-25, 2019.
Composed of 40 singers selected from SPYC batches 1 to 3,
the SPYC tour group members come from 24 provinces/communities all over the
country. The week-long music camp in
Batangas City, which is the Luzon leg, will include sessions on singing and
breathing techniques, enhancing capabilities of the singer and enabling them to
contribute strongly to their respective voice sections. The pool of trainors is led by MADz
choirmaster Mark Anthony Carpio together with MADz alumni Cecilia O. Valeña
(Chair-UP Department of Voice Music Theater and Dance); Nil’s Emerson Flores
(bass-baritone); and Alfred Allan Samonte (MADz Executive Director). The
outreach concerts will be held at the covered court of Brngy. Iligan, Batangas
City on August 23-3:00pm and at the Batangas City Convention Center on August
24-5:00pm.
The SPYC project was launched in June 2014 by the MADz and
the CCP CED. To date, the SPYC has 155 choristers/members from 72
provinces/local communities across the country.
The Sing Philippines movement brings to life the vision of National
Artist and MADz founder Andrea O. Veneracion, of a nation singing in harmony
and united in songs. The next strategic
goals of the SPYC organizers is to further advance the music training (through
music camps in the regions) of a pre-auditioned group from the three batches,
present them in local outreach performances this year, present them in an
international concert tour in 2020 and finally have them participate in one of
the prestigious choral competition in Europe in 2020.
Preparations for the Visayas and Mindanao leg of the music
camp are underway. For more information,
