The University of the Philippines Concert Chorus (UPCC), the official State University choir, has defined and achieved a proud career showcasing excellent Filipino artistry in music and dance to captive audiences worldwide.
Celebrating its 45th anniversary this year, the UPCC has grown from an excellent university chorus to an entity of national stature to a choir of international recognition.
A veteran of 16 world concert tours, the Chorus contributed immensely to promoting the Filipino culture and heritage. As the University's premier ambassadors to the world, it holds the singular honor of being invited eleven times to the prestigious Aberdeen International Youth Festival in Scotland and four times for command performances for Queen Elizabeth II. It holds the distinction of being chosen as one of the world's best choirs at the 4th Lincoln Center International Choral Festival in New York City.
Composed of select students from the University of the Philippines, the UPCC showcases works from both ends of the musical spectrum. This versatility is evident with the range of choral music it performs: Filipino zarzuelas, contemporary Filipino pop music, Broadway musicals, musical revues, jazz, rock and grand classical operas.Band/artist history

ang galing.. parang mga angel na nagsisipag awitan feeling ko tuloy nasa heaven na ko nakaktaas ng balahibo .. good luck up voice choir...
Firstly, please note that even though this song may be sung in archaic French, it is not a French song. It is written by Josquin des Prez, a Flemish master of renaissence music. The song was written to be sung at the funeral of a duke, who he knew very dearly.
To hear it sung by a choir, is rather disturbing. Originaly the song was written for 4 individual voices. A choir cannot reach the purity of the high notes as sung by a "contra-alt". But the quality of the sound of this choir is amazing to me, even remarcable. All the voices seem to be linked together in nearly perfect synchronisation.
Still, the meaning of the song is deeply ignored. It is meant to touch the individual grief buried inside everyone and therefore it has to be sung in a way most un-theatrical, preferably sober.
Nevertheless, a great achievement for a choir to be able to sing it as if it weren't a choir.
