The Young Voices of the Philippines
In a world where the power of music can inspire and cultivate excellence, the Young Voices of the Philippines (YVP) stands as a beacon of hope and creativity for countless children. This scholarship choir program, performing under the Treble Choir Association of the Philippines (TCAP), founded by Dr. Maria Theresa Vizconde-Roldan and Prof. Jude B. Roldan, has transformed lives by nurturing not only musical talent but also the holistic development of its young members.
About the Young Voices of the Philippines
YVP provides a unique space where children from diverse backgrounds come together, forging meaningful connections through their shared love for music. Here, they hone their skills, discover their voices, and create lasting friendships, all while engaging in rehearsals, performances, and festivals that celebrate their hard work and dedication.
In 2023, YVP made history by becoming the first choir from the Philippines to perform at the prestigious Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage. In addition to this historic performance in the USA, YVP also won multiple first prizes at the 12th Golden Gate International Choral Festival USA. They received four first-prize trophies across the Youth Choir Historical, Folk, Gospel/Spiritual, and Contemporary Categories.
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) awarded YVP the 2024 ANI NG DANGAL (Harvest of Honors). This award is given to artists and cultural workers who have earned the top international awards and accolades and whose works and achievements have placed the Philippines among the best in the world. Furthermore, YVP sang at the inaugural World Children’s Day in Rome and had the privilege to sing and bless Pope Francis in Da Piazza San Pietro.
