Minstrels of hope
As part of its social involvement, Tuxedo Swing Productions is proud to be associated with the Minstrels of Hope in broadcasting their show in Quebec. This collaboration has so far resulted in the production of tours in 2015 and 2019.
Minstrels of hope is an exceptional choir, bringing together twelve talented Filipino singers recognized in their country and all over the world. Accompanied by their keyboardist, they have been traveling the world since 2001 offering a vast repertoire ranging from pop, rock, classical to traditional Filipino songs .
Result of the vision of Alain Pronovost, a Quebec humanitarian helping the most disadvantaged in the Philippines, Minstrels of hope perpetuates values, trust and dignity by these women who thus retransmit the teachings they have received.
Here are some titles from their repertoire:
- Oh Happy Day
- I Will Follow Him
- Hallelujah (L. Cohen)
- Let it be (Beatles)
- WakaWaka
- Living On A Prayer (Bon Jovi)
- Sweet Sorrow (Gilles Vigneault)
- Oh Fortuna
- Life in pink
- Ride The Chariot
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- Mamma Mia
- Only You
The albums are on sale during the shows .
Other tours took them to different countries in Europe including Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. They have also performed in Hong Kong and Thailand. The group has a vast musical repertoire and sings in several languages including French.
The members of the choir have a real passion for music and also devote their time in Manila helping younger children from underprivileged backgrounds, not only giving them the benefit of their own experience, but taking care of their primary education. They also oversee training in visual arts, theater and other related fields. It is up to each member to give the others the best of their knowledge.
