Philippine Madrigal Singers
Mark Anthony A. Carpio, choirmaster
The Philippine Madrigal Singers was organized in 1963 by National Artist for Music Professor Andrea O. Veneracion. The group is composed of students, faculty and alumni from the different colleges of the University of the Philippines. The choir is one of Asia's most awarded, having consistently won all the top prizes in most of the world's most prestigious choral competitions: Arezzo and Gorizla in Italy, Marktoberdorf in Germany, Spittal in Austria, Neuchatel in Switzerland, Tours in France, Varna in Bulgaria, Debrecen in Hungary, Cantonigros and Torrevieja in Spain. They hold the distinction of being the first choir in the world to win the European Grand Prix of Choral Singing twice; f irst in 1997 and more recently in August of 2007. The ensemble performs a wide repertoire of various styles and forms: Renaissance and Classical music, Filipino and international folksongs, contemporary and avant-garde music, opera and even popular music. Their specialization and focus on the madrigal idiom has inspired their unique set-up of singing, while seated in a semi-circle without a conductor. Having graduated more than 200 choral and vocal pedagogues from its ranks, the alumni and members are actively involved in organizing and conducting choirs. This has contributed to the emergence of a now active choral life in the Philippines. The Madz Et Al is the network of choirs organized by the Philippine Madrigal Singers. To date, the network has a membership of almost 60 choirs from all over the country. Through the direction of Mark Anthony Carpio, the corps of composers and choral arrangers of the Philippine Madrigal Singers continue to produce new compositions and choral settings of Philippine and Asian songs. It also maintains an active outreach and concert tour schedule. With an average of two overseas concert tours in a year, the Philippine Madrigal Singers is the country's most active ambassador of goodwill and perhaps, also one of the world's most-traveled choirs.
