Just in case you already have your fill of rock, pop and whatever pop acts around in the local concert scene then you might want to spend this Sunday evening, Sept. 7, with the Philippine Madrigal Singers in More Than Madrigals. Fondly referred to as Madz, the internationally renowned group was the first choir to win the Grand Prix twice in the history of the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing in Arezzo, Italy. You may now find out why this happened by watching the Madz’s one-night only performance at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Just in case you already have your fill of rock, pop and whatever pop acts around in the local concert scene then you might want to spend this Sunday evening, Sept. 7, with the Philippine Madrigal Singers in More Than Madrigals. Fondly referred to as Madz, the internationally renowned group was the first choir to win the Grand Prix twice in the history of the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing in Arezzo, Italy. You may now find out why this happened by watching the Madz’s one-night only performance at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
