It’s just the second stop in the 19th world tour of the University of the Philippines Concert Chorus, the talented and versatile young performers have shown that they are living up to the world-class reputation that they have built in their 48 years of existence.
The Korus, as they are affectionately known, began the tour with major challenges of flight delays and missed connections, and making it to Seattle-Tacoma Airport with barely enough time to prepare for their Seattle concert on Saturday, April 3. A convoy of Seattle hosts and supporters transported the group to Vancouver, Washington on Tuesday to start the busy week in store for them. Host families welcomed pairs of performers into their homes for a taste of northwest friendship and hospitality..

CONCERT REVIEW: UP Concert Chorus 2010 Pamamaalam
This is a repost of an article published on Facebook by UPCC Alumnus Janryll Fernandez on Sunday, March 21, 2010.
IT WAS SUPERB! For a choral enthusiast like me and as a former Concert Chorus member myself, I have followed quite religiously the KORUS. And personally, this current batch is one of the best sounding, if not THE best sounding since the time Prof. Jai Aracama took over at the helm of the UP Concert Chorus in 1999. Its been over a decade since that changing of the guards and I guess Ma'am Jai and the Korus are coming of age...

My 15 Most Memorable Tour Experiences - Batch 2000
Here are my 15 most memorable memories from the UP Concert Chorus 2000 Millennium Tour.
1. Honolulu HI – Easter mass at the Sunrise Bowl. (tama ba?) with matching ngatog to the bones sa sobrang lamig. We wore the mestiza costume.
2. Seattle WA – after the concert, Tita Cindy said, “I’m so proud of you guys! Ang dami kong kuha sa inyo.” Pinanood namin yung video. Tama ang kuha nya sa lahat ng anak nya (Rey, Analou, Raisa, Abi). Pagdating sa akin, puro si Cherry. Hahahaha!!!
