Tracing its beginnings to the year 1921, the ACGC was formed to answer the need for liturgical music in San Ignacio Church, in Manila. The choir has then pioneered many firsts as a Filipino chorale group and student organization. Locally, they have triumphed in numerous competitions, including the National Music Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA). The ACGC has then on proudly carried the name of the Philippines during their International Tours in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Since 2002, Professor Maria Lourdes V. Hermo leads the ACGC as the group’s first female conductor. Under her baton, the group has released two commercial recordings. In 2006, the group participated in numerous European competitions, where they swept all prizes in Miltenberg, Germany and garnered high awards in Arezzo, Italy. Professor Hermo also led the group’s successful Journey to the Cross Tour of Guam in 2009, and the Magis tour of Davao, in the Philippine Island of Mindanao.
In celebration of its 90th year in 2011, the group embarked on another European Tour, where they took part in several choral competitions and has received numerous accolades and top prizes. Among its victories is its win in the 33rd International May Choir Competition in Varna, Bulgaria, earning them the distinction to compete in the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing (EGP) in 2012. They also staged various concerts around Europe, where they were received with critical acclaim by both foreign and Filipino audiences. Drawing from its rich tradition of musical excellence, the ACGC hopes to promote Filipino culture and heritage as agents of social change for the nation. less
