Since
its humble beginning in 1992, Kammerchor Manila (KM) has evolved to be
the one of the Philippines’ premier chamber choir that it is today by
sharing its long tradition of excellent choral music and continued
commitment of service to God.
Founded by one of the country’s
music pedagogues and visionaries, Prof. Fidel G. Calalang Jr., KM was
originally formed as a venue for former members of the world-renowned
University of Santo Tomas Action Singers (now known as The UST Singers)
to continue their passion for music. Through the years, its membership
grew to accommodate everyone from all walks of life who wishes to share
their talent and expertise while strengthening their ties with God.
With a vast repertoire of
different musical disciplines and genres ranging from madrigals to
unconventional contemporary music, from folkloric to modern OPM, from
sacred music to pop, KM’s musical artistry and versatility have earned
them local and international accolades and recognition bringing
continuous pride to the country.
Currently under the musical
tutelage of Mr. Anthony Go Villanueva, former assistant conductor and
member of the UST Singers, KM has engaged itself in music
festivals, distinguished occasions and goodwill tours in Hong Kong,
Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Lithuania,
Switzerland, Italy, the Vatican, and Czech Republic; and has
