A huge Congratulations to our very own UST Coro Tomasino, and to their conductor Sir Mark Agpasa

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas, Mabuhay ang Coro Tomasino! Go USTe!!

Good luck and bring home the Gold UST Coro Tomasino 🩷💛

After a long hiatus brought by the pandemic, we are once again given the opportunity to bring Thomasian artistry and Filipino choral excellence to the international stage.

We are deeply honored to share with you that the UST Coro Tomasino—the official mixed choral group of the UST Conservatory of Music—under the baton of our Musical Director, Prof. Mark Raeniel B. Agpasa, MA, will represent our beloved alma mater and country at the highly prestigious 2025 台北國際合唱音樂節 Taipei International Choral Festival (TICF) this coming July 30 to August 1, 2025.

Composed entirely of student-musicians from the UST Conservatory of Music, many of whom are first-time performers on the international stage, we offer this endeavor out of our deep love for music. With hearts full of passion, we share our talents to inspire others across the globe.

We humbly ask for your continued prayers—for a safe journey, a meaningful experience, and a successful performance. All glory to the Almighty Father.

Ever your valiant legions, imbued with unending grace! 🩷💛

The Conservatory would like to congratulate its students Paul Earvin Bibal and Mark Jericho Pacia for bagging the prize in the recent NCCA Composition last 2024.

Mr. Bibal is being mentored by our very own dean, Prof. Maria Alexandra I. Chua, PhD and Mr. Pacia is being mentored by Mr. John Luke S. Jose.

Congratulations, Paul and Echo and to your professors as well!
