PHILIPPINE MADRIGAL SINGERS at ST. PIUS X

The world renowned Philippine Madrigal Singers are coming to Westchester!

The Church of St. Pius X in Scarsdale presents the Philippine Madrigal Singers as part of the Concerts@SPX Series on Sunday, October 1 at 5pm.

Recognized by the United Nations (UNESCO) as Artists for Peace for putting their fame and influence to promote cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and a culture of peace, the Philippine Madrigal Singers is one of the most awarded choral groups in the world, having consistently won all top prizes in major choral competitions. They hold the distinction of being the first choir in the world to win the prestigious European Grand Prix for Choral Singing twice, and they are the first choir to ever receive the BrandLaureate Premier Award.

The Madz, as they are fondly called, have sung for many of the worlds most influential and prominent leaders in state visits and command performances. Among them are Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II, United States Presidents Barack Obama, Gerald Ford, and Richard Nixon, French President François Hollande, King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sophia of Spain, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, Vietnam President Tôn c Thng, Princess Margaret of the United Kingdom, His Royal Highness Prince Haji 'Abdul'Azim of Brunei, Queen Fabiola of Belgium, and Emperor Hirohito of Japan. Their frequent world concert tours have made them the most traveled and far-reaching performing group in the Philippines.

The groups virtuosity across a vast repertoire range, its continuing promotion of Filipino choral works and the rousing and deeply emotional impact that each performance has on all audiences the world over as they sing in the distinctive set-up of sitting in a semicircle without a conductor have established their reputation as a pioneering force in choral music and an inspirational role model for other choirs.
