Philippine Madrigal Singers win 2nd Grand Prix


The European Grand Prix for Choral Singing is the most prestigious prize in international choral competitions, a kind of World Cup final for the winners of a series of regional competitions in Italy, Hungary, Spain, France, and Bulgaria. Adult and children's choirs from all over the world compete. No choir has even won the Grand Prix twice, until now.

Congratulations to the Philippine Madrigal Singers, from the University of the Philippines, and its director Mark Anthony Carpio.
