The UST Singers Cap Off Concert Series in Spain with Successful Concert in Madrid
Posted on June 29, 2012

20 June 2012 – The Philippine Embassy in Madrid reported that the UST Singers capped off their concert tour of Spain with a concert at the prestigious Auditorio Conde Duque in Madrid on 19 June 2012.

Ambassador Carlos C. Salinas opened the concert with remarks that touched on the many successes of the UST Singers including winning the prestigious Choir of the World Grand Prize Luciano Pavarotti Trophy at the Llangolen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales, United Kingdom in 1995 and 2010 and how they make each and every Filipino proud with every win they garner abroad.

The concert in Madrid, which lasted for an hour, featured both religious and non-secular songs in Spanish, English, German and Filipino which had the crowd at times swaying to the beat and up on their feet for a standing ovation at the end.

The UST Singers, composed of 27 students and alumni of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, was in Spain from 06-20 June 2012 to do a concert tour upon the invitation of the Ambassador.

The tour was launched with a concert at the San Salvador Cathedral at Jerez de la Frontera in Andalucia on 07 June 2012. It was followed by a much-applauded and highly praised concert in the historic Oratorio de San Felipe Neri in Cadiz on 08 June 2012.

The Embassy organized the concert in Cadiz as part of its efforts to participate in the activities to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the Signing of the Cadiz Constitution of 1812. The Philippines, as a former overseas colony of Spain, was represented in the Spanish Cortes that drafted and signed the Constitution by Mr. Ventura de los Reyes (a Filipino businessman from Ilocos).

In addition to Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz and Madrid, the tour brought the group to Seville, Marbella, Palencia, and Carrion de los Condes (the birthplace of the Fr. Miguel de Benavides – founder of UST).

The UST Singers´ concert tour in Spain was co-sponsored by the National Commission for Cultural and Arts (NCCA) and the Filipino Communities in Madrid and Marbella.

It's UPSA's turn to bring home MORE BACON!

I'm watching this! UPSA is one very finely tuned group. Their blending is unequaled. GOOD LUCK on the tour UPSA!

[Jerusalem]

Congrats to the UP Singing Ambassadors for an SRO concert last night! It was truly a sensory overload. UPSA was in full battle gear, wowing the audience with its challenging repertoire of competition pieces. And basing from UPSA's performance in its farewell concert, it's safe to say that they have a fighting chance in the EGP-sanctioned competitions they will be participating in in a few weeks time!

UPSA, MAKE US PROUD!

[namethattune]

Congrats to UPSA for staging one of the most musically-challenging concert repertoire ever. A little more polishing with your sopranos and you stand a good chance of winning a grand prix! Bon voyage and good luck!

It's UPSA's turn to bring home MORE BACON!

UPSA was a revelation in its farewell concert! The repertoire was exquisite (though average joes may find it difficult to relate to the heavy songs). I've no doubt in my mind that UPSA can sing ANYTHING.

Don't just bring home the bacon. Bring the whole swine if you must! Best of luck in the competitions.

Sayang I missed the concert. UPSA is one of the better choirs in the mold of the Madrigal Singers, not the usual birit choirs.

Good luck UPSA. Sana manalo kayo!

According to UST Singers FB Page, it was actually the Queen herself who asked to have a photo with the choir of the world after the group sang few songs for her majesty.
