Choir for practice

The choir Los Cantantes de Manila (Philippines) under the direction of Darwin Vargas will serve as a practice choir for the participants of the International Masterclass for Choral Conductors.

Los Cantantes de Manila is a community choir composed of students, young professionals and devout musicians. LCDM displays versatility of the Filipinos by performing serious music from the works of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy to the dance music of Beyoncé. Since its inception in February 2014, the choir learned new vocal techniques and was taught the virtues of dedication, respect, humility and loyalty.

Under the baton of award-winning conductor Mr. Darwin Vargas, LCDM won multiple competitions in the national choral scene like the National Music Competitions for Young Artists and the Himig Handog Choral Competition in Tagum City.  In 2017, LCDM joined the first Pop Choir Category of the 15th International Chamber Choir Competition Marktoberdorf and won the 1st Prize with an Achievement Level I (Excellent Performance at an International Level) rating.

Committed to its mission to be Filipino cultural ambassadors of goodwill, Los Cantantes de Manila continuously harnesses its craft to promote goodwill and excellence through its God-given gift of ethereal music.
