Latepost: Madz at 55

Dateline: 24 February 2018, Cultural Center of the Philippines, Manila

It is always a delightful experience, attending a Philippine Madrigal Singers concert. This one, their 55th anniversary offering, and a return to the CCP after touring so many places here and abroad. This concert, though, had less "dramatic" flourishes in the program.

But there are times when I had to re-assess my determination to attend the concerts. The Madz has such a huge following already. (Which is foremost a very good thing.) And with a huge following comes the shrieks and shouts of fans, and unruly, long-necking and camwhoring crowds. Sometimes, the inconvenience pops you out of your bubble of madrigal bliss.
