In the heart of MANILA, Philippines, a historic Catholic University was abuzz with excitement as thousands of Filipinos gathered to witness an interfaith concert by the renowned Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square.
The choir, currently on a global tour, chose the Philippines as their second destination. The concert took place within the hallowed walls of the University of Santo Tomas Arena, drawing a crowd of over 4,000 enthusiastic attendees.
L. Whitney Clayton, the first counselor in the choir presidency, was moved by the atmosphere. “The room was filled with a magical aura,” he said. “There was a profound spiritual sensitivity that was palpable. It was evident that the Filipino people were deeply touched by the event.”
The concert was graced by leaders from various faiths, including Cardinal Jose F. Advincula, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church.
He spoke about the power of music, saying, “The melodies and harmonies express the hope that is essential for our survival in this world. We are all siblings under one divine parent.”
The audience was thrilled and filled with awe when the choir performed in Tagalog, their native language. The cheers and applause were deafening.
The choir is scheduled to perform two more concerts on the upcoming Tuesday and Wednesday. These performances will take place at the Mall of Asia, a venue that can accommodate up to 9,000 spectators.
Disagree with bad grammar. Amazing event!
