The chorale group of De La Salle Santiago Zobel School (DLSZ) achieved remarkable success at the 7th Tokyo International Choir Competition held in Japan from July 25 to 27, winning two gold prizes.
The DLSZ Chorale, composed of students from Grades 5 to 12, triumphed in the Children’s Choir Under-18 Category and the Folklore Category, securing third place overall. Additionally, the choir was honored with the coveted Audience Favorite Award. Under the direction of conductor Michael Kenneth Natividad Fabian, the choir delivered exceptional performances featuring both classical and traditional Filipino choral music.
“We are beyond grateful and immensely proud,” Fabian expressed in a press release. “These students have worked so hard, and to be able to raise the Philippine flag in an international competition like this – it’s a dream come true not just for them, but for the entire DLSZ community and the country.”
The DLSZ Chorale’s successful participation in the Tokyo International Choir Competition, regarded as one of Asia’s most prestigious choral events, provided an opportunity for the group to “share the richness of Filipino music and the warmth of Filipino spirit with an international audience.”
This achievement serves as a powerful reminder of what young Filipinos can accomplish with dedication, guidance, and a profound love for the arts. The DLSZ community celebrates this milestone, highlighting the importance of nurturing talent and creativity among the youth.
