(A Reprint from the Manila Bulletin) Pangasinan’s exceptional talents will be presented before the international stage when the Calasiao Children’s Chorus competes in the 1st Xinghai Prize-International Choir Championships in Guangzhou, China on November 8-14.
The children’s choir, composed of some 30 singers aged 7 to 16, bagged the championship in the 1st Korean International Open Choir Competition (Folklore Category) held in Korea last 2009.
The provincial government under the stewardship of Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. is calling on the support of various entities and organizations to the Calasiao Children’s Chorus as he vowed to continuously assist the needs of homegrown talents in the province’s objective to showcase Pangasinan as the “melting pot of various talents.”
In a courtesy call of the group to the Governor on July 24, the provincial chief executive congratulated the kids as he vowed to support them in whatever way to ensure that they will again win in prestigious international competitions.
