| Trionfo Concert, The Madz, CCP, Oct 8, 2016 |
In August this year, the UP Madrigal Singers won the Grand Prix at the 64th International Choral Competition in Arezzo, Italy.
Last night, October 8, they held a concert at CCP to relive their experience in Arezzo. The concert, TRIONFO, featured the entire selection of songs they performed at the aforementioned European competition.
Although I cannot help but compare this relatively young set of members to the previous batch I also happen to see perform live in a similar concert, Trionfo was worth the anticipation. This concert is their last major concert this year.
Madz is Madz. Every time I watch them perform live, I always float in a different world inside the theater, distant from the noise and haste of the outside world. I was holding back tears at some point during the program, even if I don't understand most of the songs (foreign language). Such is the power of music to touch hearts even if words are unfamiliar.
After the concert, my heart was extraordinarily joyful and overwhelmed at how such beautiful voices can distract breathing pattern and ignite emotions.
Bravissimo.
