University of the Philippines Manila Chorale (UPMC)
Basic Information
Biography The UP Manila Chorale (UPMC) is the official performing group for choral
music of the University of the Philippine Manila. Its aim is to produce excellent
performances in order to uplift Filipino music and culture through choral
music.
Through the years, the group has been performing a wide repertoire: sacred,
secular, folk, jazz, pop and our very own Filipino music. Despite having no
music majors in the group, the UPMC has been able to mould its members
coming from non-musical disciplines into well-rounded and versatile singers.
The UPMC has an established record of successful concerts and projects. Its
extensive performing experience includes major concerts, benefit concerts, six
European concert tours and performances for heads of state and dignitaries. The
group is regularly invited to choral competitions, and it has garnered several
awards locally and internationally. As of April 2012, the UP Manila Chorale
ranks number 32 in the Musica Mundi/INTERKULTUR World
Ranking List - Top 50 Children's and Youth Choirs. Meanwhile, the
group ranks number 92 in the Musica Mundi/INTERKULTUR World
Ranking List - Top 1000 Choirs.
In the recent years the UPMC has performed major works and various
compositions by Fauré, Mozart, Bruckner, Busto, Rutter, and Vivaldi. As an
advocate of Filipino choral music, the UPMC has in their repertoire the music
of Lucio San Pedro, Ryan Cayabyab, Joel Navarro, Felipe de Leon, Francisco
Feliciano and Fidel Calalang. The group is presently led by their musical
director, Nikos Ibarra R. Mante.
