More than 300 singers came together at SM Seaside City Cebu in celebration for World Choral Day 2025 at the Mountain Wing Atrium on December 14, 2025, featuring performances by some of Cebu’s most prominent choral groups.

World Choral Day is observed globally on or around the second Sunday of December and is an initiative of the International Federation for Choral Music, proposed and approved during its General Assembly in Helsinki, Finland in 1990. The annual celebration highlights the role of choral music in fostering peace, cultural exchange, and unity among communities worldwide.
