Las Piñas Boys Choir wins 2 golds in 5th World Choir Games in Austria

Another superb performance by the Las Piñas Boys Choir (LPBC) in the ongoing 5th World Choir Games in Garz, Austria allowed the group to bag two gold medals in two categories: the Musica Sacra (Music of the Religion) and Children’s Choir.

“The opening song of the Las Piñas Boys Choir was so inspiring and breathtaking,” said Fr. Didoy Molina in the LPBC’s daily blog. “I can even feel the crowd holding their breath after the song. And then Armando (the conductor) proceeded to lead the boys in their next repertoire, and song after song, the silence of the crowd was deafening if not eerie, a reaction and attention I believe given only now among the competing choirs.”

Molina said that “when the boys ended with the rousing Halleluia, the applause was long and loud. Some even gave the boys a standing ovation. It was the LPBC at their best!”

Last Saturday, Fr. Joey de Moy, the Chaplain of the Filipino Catholic Community, proudly announced after the mass at the opening of the Barrio Fiesta Celebration in Vienna, that the LPBC got the gold for the Musica Sacra category.
