A month-long virtual music camp is slated for SPYC batch 4 from July 6-30, 2021 and will culminate on July 31 with a special online performance which is anticipated to be a grand and uplifting virtual performance as it will also feature batches 1 to 3 in the SPYC mission song, composed by Ily Mathew Maniano with lyrics by Joey Vargas. To date, the SPYC batches 1-4 totals to 210 choristers from 110 provinces/local communities nationwide.
Though the world is still struggling to overcome and survive the pandemic, music and the arts continue to heal and inspire all people of all nations. With the vision of National Artist Andrea O. Veneracion, “a nation singing in harmony and united in songs,” the SPYC can surely contribute to making life during this precarious time more bearable and hopeful.
