UP MADRIGAL SINGERS IN THEIR MOSCOW TOUR

15 May 2006 – The Philippine Madrigal Singers, led by choirmaster Mark Anthony Carpio,  performed a serious and at times playful 130-minute program of Filipino 19 folk and religious songs at the DOM Cultural Center and a technically difficult 90-minute concert composed of 17 popular and obscure classical songs, including their eponymous specialty - madrigals from Italian renaissance - at the Moscow International Performing Arts Centre (MMDM).
