The Loboc Children’s Choir was founded as early as 1980. The Choir is composed of 24 children between nine and thirteen years old who attend Loboc Central Elementary School in Bohol, Philippines.
The Choir has become one of the most awarded choirs in the Philippines garnering both national and international awards. Its concert repertoire is a combination of classical, folk, modern, and children’s songs.
The Loboc Children’s Choir toured Australia in 2015 in the cities of Sydney, Canberra and
Melbourne. Their tour raised awareness on the devastation caused by an earthquake in Bohol and raised funds for Bohol’s rehabilitation and rebuilding efforts.
This year, 2018, the Philippine Embassy is once again inviting the Loboc Children’s Choir for an Australian tour following the highly successful tour in 2015. The Melbourne concert is part of the three-city tour in Sydney, Canberra, and Melbourne and is envisioned to be the main event for the Embassy’s Independence Day celebrations in Australia this year.
This concert tour aims to promote the Filipino world-class talent in Australia in celebrating Philippine Independence; promote Philippine tourism particularly to Bohol, one of the priority destinations of the Department of Tourism; and institutionalise socio-cultural linkages and exchanges between Philippine and Australian primary schools.
Admission is free with optional donation at the gate. Seats are limited so reservation is essential. Please only book if you are certain that you will be attending this event to ensure maximum seat occupancy.
