Philippine Patrons of the Arts USA
Inspired by the choral excellence of the Philippine Madrigal Singers, Philippine Patrons of the Arts USA was founded in 1989. For 30 years, we have brought audiences to witness the best of Filipino music in the US by presenting at prestigious venues such as the Ford Theatres in Hollywood, the Valley Performing Arts Center in Northridge, and the Aratani Theatre at the Japanese Cultural Center in Downtown Los Angeles.
