THE Philippine Consulate General and Sentro Rizal San Francisco are pleased to inform Filipino community organizations under its jurisdiction that the Philippine National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) is offering the “Sentro Rizal Virtual Masterclass” on Philippine Choral Music Singing with the world renowned Philippine Madrigal Singers.
The Sentro Rizal Virtual Masterclass is a program that connects internationally-acclaimed Filipino artists with their fellow artists in the diaspora.
The target audience of the Sentro Rizal Virtual Masterclass are members of a choir/choral group, music teachers, and music enthusiasts, with prior experience in choral singing.
Some of the basic singing techniques will be touched upon, including diction, tone and choral blend, intonation and harmony, dynamic and expressive singing, “singtelligence,” and “singtegration.” The lecture for the Masterclass is pre-recorded, but the Philippine Madrigal Singers will join the participants live during the question-and-answer portion.
This Sentro Rizal Virtual Masterclass will be held on March 19-20, 2024 and March 26-27, 2024, Philippine (PH) Time, with the following schedule: (see table).
Due to the time difference between the Philippines and the U.S., the exact timings of each session will be determined once all applications are in.
Interested groups are requested to apply with the Consulate by sending an email at [email protected], with their preferred cluster. The deadline for applications is on March 1, 2024 (U.S. Pacific Time).
