Philippine Madrigal Singers

Under the direction of Mark Anthony Carpio, the Philippine Madrigal Singers are UNESCO Artists for Peace, “putting fame and influence at the service of UNESCO’s ideals and efforts to promote cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and a culture of peace.” The Madz 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 (1997 and 2007). Opening up the possibility of a third win, The Madz will compete in the European Grand Prix once again in November 2017. The group sings in a distinctive seated semicircle without a conductor and performs a virtuosic repertoire with a particular focus on Filipino choral works.
