May 16, 2009 - Once again, our church's very own Lifeline choral invited us to watch the annual Madz Et Al Choral Festival. This festival was sponsored and produced by no less that the Philippine Madrigal Singers and runs for a week at Philamlife Auditorium. They invite their affiliated choirs (choirs with conductors who were former members or underwent training with them) to present their best musical pieces and renditions. Most of the time, expect the choirs to go all out!!

I was not able to watch last year's (2008) festival since I had no money back then. But this year's theme and genre, classical-romantic works, really made me eager to watch. And for less than 300, I got the chance to hear the best vocal renditions in the madrigal style. Too bad though since I realized that I was watching the last show in festival. There were 6 choirs for each night who would sing three to four foreign and local songs under the mentioned genre. It was really a night to remember and the best concert if you are a choir aficionado.
