Philippine Saringhimig Singers

The Philippine Saringhimig Singers was founded by artistic Director George Hernandez in 1974 as a chamber choir at the University of the Philippines. The group rapidly gained recognition as one of the best choirs in the Philippines and embarked on several European concert tours. They participated in choral festivals winning choral competitions and receiving critical reviews from European critics. The choir is now based in San Francisco.
