EUROPE 2008 | May 21 - September 22, 2008
Year 2008 brought the University of the Philippines Singing Ambassadors (UPSA) to Europe for its 6th International Concert Tour and Competitions that was part of its 28th Anniversary Celebration. It consisted of major activities like participation in European Music Festivals; concertizing for Filipino communities and international audiences in Europe; Outreach programs consisting of choral workshops for Filipino choirs and European counterparts, and other Filipino organizations; and visits to institutions such as homes for the aged, a cancer institute and a regional prison. Aside from these activities, the Group also had the opportunity to visit important historical landmarks, museums, monuments, religious artifacts and churches built in different periods (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical), and more. The highlight of UPSA’s 28th Anniversary Celebration was its participation in five (5) European Competitions in Sopot, POLAND; Tours, FRANCE; Wales, UNITED KINGDOM; Debrecen, HUNGARY; and in Neuchatel, SWITZERLAND.
As one of the founders (1980) of the Group, I was privileged to be part of its delegation to four international tours (2001 / 2002 / 2005 & 2008). Here are pictures of beautiful sceneries, exciting activities and some cherished moments with hosts during the 2008 tour.
