DESCRIPTION:
Himig Kalai is an all freshman choral group of UP Diliman students based in Kalayaan Residence Hall. The idea was conceived during the term of Ms. Alma Tirona as Dorm Manager with Rbee Mallari as Resident Assistant in Charge. The program's aim was to help students hone their musical talents and boost their confidence before joining more established University-based singing groups. Thru the efforts and dedication of Mark David Alvarez, a talented freshman/resident in the Hall, the choir made its first appearance as an all female Chorus for the first Annual Kalayaan Christmas Production in 2006.
Today, with Mark David Alvarez (2-BA Sociology) as Conductor, and Joseph Carlo Candare (1-BS Applied Physics) assisting, Himig Kalai has evolved into a serious group of talents whose passion and dedication for music is coming at par with the more established music organizations in UP Diliman.
