Children's choir bags gold in German tilt.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Jocelyn R. Uy
EVERY choir may have its own success story, but for this group, victory definitely didn't come with age and popularity.
Last July 12, the Hail Mary the Queen Children's Choir, composed of chorale members from Quezon City and San Juan, ran off with the gold medal in the Music of the Religions category at the recently concluded Choir Olympics held in Bremen, Germany, besting other tested groups with adult memberships.
"We hadn't participated in any competition, not even here. It's a big feat for a small group," said Walter Cheng, executive director of the Ave Maria Children's Choir Foundation.
The Hail Mary the Queen Children's Choir, a merger of the 5-year-old Hail Mary Children's Choir of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cubao and the 2-year-old Mary the Queen Children's Choir in Greenhills, was formed in May 2003 in answer to the call of the latter's parish priest, Fr. Ben Sim, S.J., for a voluntary liturgical choir.
The group then became the backyard choir of the two parishes, said lawyer Ulan Sarmiento, chairman and president of Ave Maria Foundation.
