From one stage to the next, "Ilay Gandangan" has become a cornerstone of the UP Concert Chorus’ journey under the visionary leadership of Professor Janet Sabas-Aracama. This powerful piece has not only showcased the artistry and excellence of the choir but has also brought Filipino folk music to the global spotlight, echoing in competitions and festivals across Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Czech Republic, and many more.

Through every performance, this piece evolves—connecting us to our roots while inspiring audiences around the world. A true testament to the spirit of Korus! 🎶

As we commemorate World Choral Day, we celebrate the power of music to unite and inspire. Here's to the shared harmony that continues to resonate through "Ilay Gandangan" and beyond!
