Carolefest 2007, a resounding success!

As part of UP's Christmas celebrations, the Office for the Initiative for Culture and the Arts (OICA) and the University Student Council's Committee on Culture and Arts (CCA) recently organized the 2nd University Carolefest last December 14, from 6pm to 9pm. Twelve colleges choirs participated and serenaded a jampacked University Theater with the contest piece, Ryan Cayabyab's 'Kumukutikutitap' and two choice pieces. The twelve colleges are: College of Business Administration, College of Social Sciences and Philosophy, College of Education, College of Architecture, College of Law, College of Science, College of Engineering, School of Statistics, College of Mass Communication, National College of Public Administration and Governance, School of Library and Information Studies, and the College of Home Economics.

The event also featured an intermission number from the UP Filipiniana Dance Troupe. The night was capped with all the college choirs singing 'Kumukutikutitap' as conducted by UP Concert Chorus conductor and head of the event's panel of judges, Professor Janet Sabas-Aracama.

Contest winners will be announced on December 17 during the Lantern Parade program at Quezon Hall.

CCA extends its warmest appreciation to all colleges who participated and to all who attended this event. Happy Holidays!
