ANGELES CITY - The biggest chorale gathering in Central Luzon dubbed, Angeles City Chorale Festival, was held recently at the Holy Angel University (HAU) here.

The festival was organized by the HAU Chorale, Tarlac Chamber Choir and the Divine Majesty Male Choir and their Choir Master, Eric Robert Santos.

The event celebrated the “magnificence” of the Filipino musical talent as it featured the composition of composer/arrangers in the like of Maestro Eudenice V. Palaruan, Normita Rio-Pablico, Jude Edgard C. Balsamao and Maestro Joy T. Nillo.

“It started four years ago with only six participating choirs and is now growing bigger and bigger every year. This chorale gathering can be said as the largest chorale event in Central Luzon as it was participated by 13 of the finest choirs across the country with the special participation of the University of the Visayas Chorale,” said Santos.

The Chorale Festival had also featured the University of Santo Tomas singers, the Ateneo chamber singers and the world-renowned Philippine Madrigal Singers in the past years.

The organizers said they are aiming to make the Chorale Festival even bigger in the coming years as they promote the richness of Filipino Music, particularly the chorale music in this city and in the whole country.
