HILING
THE FIRST FULLY-VIRTUAL YEAR-END CONCERT
Bagaman tayo ay magkakalayo, ang ating pagmamahal sa musika ay nakapagbubuklod sa atin, sa pagbuo ng isang korong minimithi ang mabuting hinaharap. Sa pagkakaisa ng ating mga puso at damdamin sa iisang simponya, aming hinahangad na ang lahat ay makatamo ng ginhawa, paghilom, at inspirasyon upang lakas-loob na harapin ang kinabukasan.
Sa pagdiriwang ng 31 taon ng paghilom sa pamamagitan ng musika, ibinabahagi namin sa inyo ang rurok ng aming marubdob na damdamin at ang pananabik na umawit para sa inyong muli. During the COVID-19 pandemic, all in-person events were cancelled and/or restricted. In its passion to continue serving the people through music amidst the quarantine, the UP MedChoir held its first fully-virtual year-end concert "Hiling" on the 26th and 27th of June, 2021. The concert was streamed live through Facebook and its video-on-demand was made available through YouTube. Proceeds of the concert were given for the benefit of the PGH Medical Foundation.

The Choir's Milestones
In 2001, the UP MedChoir went on a goodwill tour in the United States, where they performed in Southern California, Delaware Valley, New York, St. Louis, and Baltimore. In 2005, the choir went on a European tour and participated in the 51st International Fleischmann Trophy Competition held in Cork, Ireland, where they were awarded the P.E.A.C.E. Trophy. This success was followed by another in 2006 during the World Choir Games in Xiamen, China, where the choir was awarded two Gold Diplomas in the Musica Sacra and Mixed Chamber Choir categories during the qualifying round, and two silver medals in the same categories in the final round. In 2008, the choir embarked on a second goodwill tour in the United States, performing in cities in the East and West Coasts.
In recognition of their meritorious performances locally and internationally, the choir has been a multi-time recipient of the Gawad ng Dekano (Dean’s Citation) Award and Most Outstanding Organization in UP Manila in 2006. In July 2015, the UP MedChoir competed at the Orientale Concentus VIII, a prestigious choral competition in Singapore and won a Silver Diploma, Grade 2. Last July 2018, the UP MedChoir also competed at the 7th Bali International Choir Festival, held in Bali, Indonesia, where the choir won four Gold Medals in two different categories: a Gold IV medal in the Mixed Youth competition, a Gold VI medal in the Musica Sacra competition, and two Gold medals for the championship rounds of both categories. Locally, the UP MedChoir has also given exemplary performances in competitions. In 2014, they became the eight-time champion of MedRhythmia, the annual inter-medical school choral competition organized by the NCR chapter of the Association of Philippine Medical Colleges. |
Last November 14, 2015, MedChoir placed First Runner Up with their rendition of "Paraiso" and "You Raise Me Up."
Apart from holding concerts and joining competitions, UP MedChoir has also been singing in hotels such as Manila Hotel, Bay Leaf, Diamond Hotel and a lot more for official functions and during the Christmas season. The choir has always been invited to perform at Christmas concerts in malls such as Rockwell, Nuvali and the like. Singing at weddings has also been among the choir's favorite to perform at, singing for several weddings per year and bringing songs of love to a couple’s special day. Every year, the choir also holds concerts for the benefit of patients such as patients with X-linked Dystonia Parkinsonism. |
