EU delegation holds choral festival with UST

The delegation of the European Union (EU) to the Philippines collaborates with the University of Santo Tomas (UST) to host “Sounds of Celebration: Sixty Years of EU-Philippines Relations,” a choral festival, to mark the 60 years of bilateral relations between the EU and the Philippines.

The event will take place at the Buenaventura Garcia Paredes OP Building, UST, April 26, featuring choral groups from all over the Philippines in a showcase of talent, musical diversity and cultural exchange. The festival also coincides with UST’s 413th founding anniversary.

The theme, “Sounds of Celebration,” is a recognition of how music can transcend borders and go beyond the barrier of language.

The EU-Philippines Cultural Award will recognize a choir’s outstanding performance. The Ambassador’s Choice Award will be awarded to the choir whose performance best embodies cultural diplomacy.
