The Sing Philippines Youth Choir (SPYC), under the direction of Mark Anthony Carpio, will hold a special fundraising concert on Sept. 9 at the University of St. La Salle Coliseum, with two performances at 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
As one of the country’s premier choral ensembles, the SPYC brings together talented young singers from across the Philippines, showcasing the richness of Filipino artistry and unity through music.
The concert promises a repertoire that blends timeless classics, Filipino masterpieces, and contemporary works—celebrating the transformative power of choral music.
More than a musical event, the SPYC concert is a fundraising initiative for The Negros Museums’ Tuklas (Tulong Kaalaman Senter) Center, a program dedicated to supporting the education and cultural exposure of marginalized children in Negros; Balay Munyeka, a newly-established museum featuring dolls from all over the world; and USLS’ Artists’ Hub, which secures the academic training and creative formation of qualified and deserving student-artists of the university.
Proceed from this concert will help provide creative learning opportunities and access to the arts for children and students, who need it most, the SPYC said in a press release.
In addition to the concert, SPYC will conduct a choral workshop on Sept. 8, from 2-5 p.m., exclusively for select chorale groups in Bacolod and neighboring areas. This rare opportunity will allow aspiring singers and conductors to learn directly from SPYC’s distinguished mentors, enhancing the region’s choral excellence.
This landmark event is made possible through the partnership of the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the Negros Cultural Foundation Inc., in collaboration with the USLS, the provincial government of Negros Occidental, and local cultural institutions dedicated to fostering world-class performances and meaningful artistic exchanges.
