Choir Members

Thomas Cabantac

Thomas V. Cabantac
Vocal Coach, Choir Master, Baritone.

His altruistic musical mission started in 1975 (he was only 18 then) when he gathered teenagers from a slum area and grouped them to sing. His pertinacious goal is to develop the singing talent, especially of the underprevileged youth through humility and sincere discipline in order to reach a plausive, world-standard singing skill which they can use as foundation for their life.
His mission continued on in greater magnitude when he founded the MVE in 1982 and assiduously served also as the Conductor and Manager.
Then till now, he has already given to over a hundred students free voice lessons of countless hours using what he called, "The Thomas Cabantac Method in Vocal Production". Yet he says, " I have nothing whereof to boast. All my success is ascribed to God Almighty".
