One of the most awarded choirs in the world

Recognized by UNESCO as Artists for Peace for promoting cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and a culture of peace.

Founded in 1963 by National Artist for Music Prof. Andrea O. Veneracion, the Philippine Madrigal Singers have won the top prizes at most of the world's prestigious choral competitions.

Their range across a vast repertoire, their steady promotion of Filipino choral works and the emotional impact of every performance have made them a pioneering force in choral music and a role model for choirs everywhere.

Under choirmaster Mark Anthony Carpio, the Madz continue to show that choral music can be socially relevant and transformational, while nurturing new generations of conductors and singers around the world.
