A Night of Music with the Philippine Madrigal Singers at Molo Church

From madrigals to pop-songs, from French &Italian to Ilonggo and Filipino folk songs, it was a musical night to remember as the Philippine Madrigal Singers serenaded Iloilo once again.

With the imposing Molo Church (St. Anne's Parish) as the venue, the night echoed with the voices that made the Philippines proud for more than five decades.

Ilonggo Senator Franklin M. Drilon together with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines led by its chairman Rene R. Escalante brought the world-famous choir in Iloilo also for the inauguration of the Museum of Philippine Economic History on the same day.

It was one of the most attended event inside the Molo church as attested by the senator and the crowd filled up the whole nave of the church.

The Philippine Madrigal Singers led by choirmaster Mark Anthony A. Carpio performed a select repertoire including crowd favorites - Ili, Ili, Tulog Anay and Kruhay!

Pop songs from international stars like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Freddie Mercury (Love of my Life, You've Hurt me) ...

... to local hits popularized by Regine Velasquez, Sharon Cuneta, The Dawn, and the maestro Ryan Cayabyab captivated the crowd.

Be it sung solo, trio or the whole choir, each piece was well-appreciated!

And when the "More! More! More!" time came, the Philippine Madrigal Singers gave in and performed an iconic animated song - Circle of Life from the Lion King.

The night ended on a high note and it was another musical experience the Ilonggos will truly cherish!
