First WINter Harmonics Performance
Our first WINter Harmonics performance is the classic Tagalog Christmas song, Pasko Na Sinta Ko as performed by the WIN Chorale. A song about love, it was written by a composer and songwriter after being inspired by a couple’s love story at university. We hope you enjoy our take on this beautiful song!
