In a vibrant celebration of musical excellence and unity, the NWSSU Singers spearheaded the “Sing, Learn & Grow!” chorale workshop held on August 23–24, 2025. The two-day event brought together aspiring vocalists and seasoned mentors in a shared pursuit of artistry, discipline, and collaboration.
Day 1 commenced with inspiring messages from Mr. Cerilo A. Irinco, ASCA Head, and Dr. Ana Gretchen D. Tobe, Adviser, who emphasized the values of dedication and perseverance in the musical journey. Conductor Earl Justin M. Chiquillo then welcomed the distinguished guest speaker, Sir Rodolfo E. Denolan—renowned conductor of the Jose R. Gullas Visayas Chorale (JRGVC)—whose expertise guided the intensive training sessions.
Across both days, participants immersed themselves in vocal workshops focused on technique, interpretation, and ensemble dynamics. The program culminated in a lively Q&A forum, awarding of certificates, and a heartfelt token of appreciation presented to Sir Denolan. Dr. Myra L. Pilpa, Director of Student Affairs and Services (SAS), delivered her closing remarks, commending the NWSSU Singers for their unwavering commitment to growth and cultural advocacy.
By nurturing both technical mastery and expressive performance, the workshop strengthened the NWSSU Singers’ role as proud cultural ambassadors of the university—harmonizing talent, passion, and institutional pride.
