(π˜•π˜ˆπ˜π˜Šπ˜) is a non-stock, non-profit organization that unites and advances the Philippine choral movement. Officially founded on August 21, 2024 and registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), NAFCI supports and serves key players of choral music such as; but not limited to conductors, composers, arrangers, organizers, singers, and supporters with tools on capacity building, peer networking, and best practices. In the spirit of communitarianism, the association centers on the wellbeing of their members and eventually hones them to becoming catalysts in the socio-economic development of their respective communities; thus, making them cultural ambassadors of the regions as they collectively showcase the diverse cultures of the Philippines. Through choral music, NAFCI also aims to preserve, promote, and protect (the three Ps) the country’s tangible and intangible heritage as well as further exploring the distinct and lesser-known musical traditions of its indigenous people. With its five-year strategic framework at hand, it ultimately intends to instill national pride, identity, and cultural awareness among the Filipino choral community, ensuring global standards of the Filipino choral art for generations to come.

MEET OUR ADJUDICATOR AND CLINICIAN

A distinguished name in Philippine choral music, bringing decades of experience, artistic excellence, and musical leadership to the 2nd Bukidnon Choral Festival.

We are honored to welcome back Robert Delgado, a distinguished conductor, composer, arranger, and music educator with over four decades of artistic leadership in the Philippine choral landscape. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Music at the University of the Philippines.

His foundational career began in the 1980s as a soloist and resident arranger for the internationally acclaimed Philippine Madrigal Singers while studying Music Composition and Voice at the University of the Philippines College of Music. Over the decades, he achieved prominence on global competitive stages, leading the San Beda College Chorale to a Gold Medal and Olympic Championship at the 2002 Choir Olympics (now the World Choir Games) in Busan, South Korea. Most recently, he led the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office Chorale to capture the prestigious Grand Prix at the Korea International Choir Competition in Songdo, Incheon.

A highly cited figure in the Cultural Center of the Philippines Encyclopedia of Philippine Art, Delgado serves as a member of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts Music Committee, a steering member of the World Choral Conducting Network, and the founding president of the National Association of Filipino Choirs, Incorporated. He continues to serve as the music director and conductor of both the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office Chorale and the Philippine Male Singers.

His wealth of experience and dedication to choral artistry will bring valuable insight and inspiration to this year's festival.

A little Mountain View College memory…

For those who joined us at the Bukidnon Choral Festival, you may remember the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere of Mountain View College.

Beyond the music, workshops, rehearsals, and performances, there were also moments to simply walk around, take in the scenery, and experience the charm of the campus.

Here’s a little glimpse of the Heritage Village at MVC.

Did you get a chance to see this part of the campus during your visit?
