Himig ng Pasko

Founded in 1992, the University of Santo Tomas Singers, led by Prof. Fidel Gener Calalang Jr., are the university’s premier mixed choral ensemble. Over the past 32 years, they’ve completed 37 international goodwill concert tours, showcasing Thomasian pride and Filipino artistry.

 

The UST Singers hold the world record for winning the Choir of the World Pavarotti Trophy twice, in 1995 and 2010. They’ve won 84 top prizes in prestigious choral competitions across Europe, Asia, and North America.

 

In 2023, they resumed international tours after the COVID-19 pandemic, performing in South Korea and Europe and Asia.

 

In 2024, the UST Singers returned to Bicolandia, performing goodwill concerts and choral workshops to promote Thomasian artistry and Filipino excellence. They also completed their 18-day “Beyond All Praising” International Concert and Competition Tour, visiting Switzerland and Norway. In Norway, they won the Grand Prix at the 10th Grieg International Choir Festival in Bergen, becoming the first Filipino and Asian choir to achieve this feat.
