MANILA, Philippines—Internationally-renowned UP Manila Chorale (UPMC) is in Central Europe for a series of performances, the Philippine Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva said.

The UPMC was in Geneva until May 6 where the group performed in concerts organized by the Philippines Alumni Association of Geneva.

The chorale then proceeded to Germany and will travel to Linz, Austria in June to participate in the International Anton Bruckner Choir Competition.

In Geneva, the UPMC performed in various venues, including the United Nations’ Palais des Nations.

Their repertoire was rich and varied, ranging from traditional Tagalog kundimans to African-American spirituals.

The UPAAG organized the concerts in support of its scholarship program for indigent students at the UP Visayas.
