Cantus Times #3

The latest issue of Cantus Times captures the heart and harmony of the UP Youth Choir. From celebrating the brain-boosting benefits of singing to reflecting on UPYC’s role in the global peace documentary End War or Build Peace?, this edition reminds us that music truly connects people across borders.

Inside, you’ll find heartfelt reflections from our members—stories of kindness, friendship, and resilience, and personal tributes like “The Castle in My Heart”, a poetic love letter to what UPYC means to so many. As we look ahead to the 2026 choir auditions, our singers reflect on gratitude for the memories made and excitement for the journeys yet to come.

UPYC continues to stand as more than a choir—it’s a family, a voice for hope, and a reminder that through music, we rise together.
