#MusicPH - Musica Feuropa 12 - A VIRTUAL CHORAL FESTIVAL AND CONCERT OF CHAMPIONS ALL SET FOR MAY 15, 22, 29 and 30!

Musica FEUROPA, Far Eastern University’s annual choral festival with the European Union Delegation in the Philippines as its principal partner proudly presents Musica FEUropa 12, a virtual series of concerts for the first time on May 15, 22, 29 and 30, 2021.

Musica FEUROPA 12 this year celebrates the power of music  with choral groups sharing their virtual performances to showcase both Philippine and European pieces for the public to see, hear and enjoy.

It aims to elevate the standards of participating choirs by using the European guidelines for competitions. It prepares Filipino choirs to participate in European choral competitions and fosters an openness to cultural exchange.  

The main purpose of Musica FEUROPA is to make it one of the definitive festivals in the choral circuit, first in the Philippines, then in the world:  

--- To promote the European Union in the Philippines, particularly through its music during the European Union Month of May; 

--- To expose Filipino choirs to the works of European composers; and 

--- To give equal importance to the works of Filipino composers. 

As in previous years, highly respected Adjudicators from the Philippine choral circuit will be present in the first three concerts to provide constructive feedback to each of the selected choirs.

Invited choirs will submit videos of past or virtual performances of one piece in an official EU language by a composer from the EU, one in any Filipino language or dialect by someone of Filipino descent and the Ode to Joy in German. 

The deadline for submission of entries is May 18.

Musica FEUROPA 12 will happen via Zoom.
