July 17 2026, marked the final day of the three-day workshop, Peripheral Listening: Developing Choral Ecologies for Pagtatahip 8.1, bringing participants together for a meaningful conclusion to their shared journey of listening, reflection, and collaborative music-making.

The day began with a reflection activity facilitated by Mr. Jay and Maโ€™am Sol, where participants revisited their experiences from the previous day. Building on these reflections, resource speaker Dr. melรช Yamomo guided another peripheral listening session, introducing new prompts that further enriched the participantsโ€™ engagement with sound.

The workshop culminated at the CED-IDS Amphitheater, where participants gathered for the culminating activity. Dr. melรช Yamomo and Mr. Jay shared insights into their musical practice, followed by a peripheral listening performance by the MSU-IIT Octava Choral Society that embodied the workshopโ€™s themes of attentive listening, collaboration, and shared musical expression.

As the workshop came to a close, participants departed with renewed perspectives on listening and making music together, carrying forward the lessons and connections fostered throughout the three-day experience.
