The Far Eastern University Chorale is the premier and official choir of the Far Eastern University (FEU) under the FEU Center for the Arts (FCA). Emerson Hernandez as its artistic director. The group joined and won in several choral competitions, performed in various television programs, and graced a plethora of functions in and outside the University.

In commemorating Labor Day, we stand in recognition of all Filipino workers who form the foundation of our society, including those within the FEU community. From security personnel and maintenance staff to office employees and educators, each role reflects the collective effort that keeps our communities running every day. Their resilience, dedication, and commitment continue to drive meaningful change and progress.

As members of the FEU community, we are called not only to acknowledge their contributions but also to remain aware of the realities they face. Labor Day is both a celebration and a call to action, urging us to advocate for just wages, safe working conditions, and the protection of workers’ rights.

Mabuhay!

𝗞𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗮, 𝗯𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝘂𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼! 🇵🇭

This Filipino Food Month, we take a look back at the moments where our music became part of the feast. From performing at “𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴 𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯” at Rizal Park to “𝗞𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗖𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰” in the FEU Auditorium, where we sang pieces like “𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘥𝘪𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘨, 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘪!” and “𝘈𝘺, 𝘈𝘺, 𝘈𝘺, 𝘖 𝘗𝘢𝘨-𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘨,” alongside various cultural groups, these experiences brought together music, food, and Filipino tradition in meaningful ways.

𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐰𝐧. 🕊️

Today, the world held its breath. Heinrich Schütz’s “Selig sind die Toten” is the sound of that silence. It is not the cry of the Cross, nor the shout of the Resurrection; it is the gentle, steady pulse of sacred rest.

As the voices weave together, let them remind you that even in the tomb, there is a blessing. Even in the waiting, there is a promise.

A day of rest. A day of waiting. A day of faith. The FEU Chorale wishes everyone a meaningful and prayerful Black Saturday.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐛 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞. 🕯️✨

On this Good Friday, we look to the Cross with humble hearts. Maniano’s “Doxologia” reminds us of the divine holiness present even in the darkest hour. As the voices cascade and build, they mirror the weight of a world waiting for mercy. We offer this piece not in celebration of a victory already won, but in awe of the love that endured the suffering of Calvary.

We sing of "Blessing, and glory, and wisdom" not because the pain is gone, but because God is present within it.

Have a blessed and quiet day of reflection. 🌿

Far Eastern University through the FEU Center for the Arts presents the Pundaquit Virtuosi from Zambales in Haydn's 7 Last Words of Jesus Christ with reflections in between in the FEU Chapel surrounded by The Stations of the Cross, a National Cultural Treasure by National Artist Carlos "Botong" Francisco

*********************

The FEU Center for the Arts (FCA) continues its Tutti Concert Series with Tutti Strings, featuring the Pundaquit Virtuosi from Zambales in a special Lenten performance of The Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ by Joseph Haydn. Presented in partnership with the FEU Campus Ministry, this free concert will take place on March 31 at 5 PM at the FEU Chapel, offering the Tamaraw community a moving musical reflection in preparation for Holy Week.

Adding a unique dimension to the performance, each of the Seven Last Words will be accompanied by a short reflection delivered by representatives from the FEU Community.

Founded in the quiet coastal village of Pundaquit, San Antonio, Zambales, the Pundaquit Virtuosi is led by internationally renowned Filipino violinist Coke Bolipata. Through his vision, music education has become accessible to children in the community, transforming lives and nurturing young talents through classical training and performance opportunities. What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a respected ensemble known for its heartfelt performances and advocacy for arts education.

Reflecting on the significance of the featured piece, Bolipata shares, “Haydn’s Seven Last Words is a rare piece of music: one that invites stillness. It does not dramatize Christ’s suffering so much as meditates on it.”

Composed in 1786, Joseph Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Christ is a deeply contemplative masterpiece originally written for Good Friday services in Cádiz, Spain. The work consists of seven sonatas, each reflecting one of Christ’s final utterances on the Cross, framed by a solemn introduction and a powerful concluding movement. Revered for its emotional depth and spiritual intensity, the piece invites listeners into quiet meditation through expressive melodies and profound musical storytelling.

The concert is open to all but with limited seats available through pre-registration via the QR code on the poster or the registration link below.

Interested attendees may also contact the FEU Center for the Arts through its official platforms for further inquiries.
