PARAHYANGAN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
CHOIR
Thirty six
years ago, under the sponsorship of Mr. A.P. Sugiarto,
SH who was at that time still a student of the
university, the Parahyangan Catholic University Students'
Choir (Paduan Suara Mahasiswa Universitas Katolik
Parahyangan - PSM Unpar) was established to be a
place for the students to increase their musical talent
and appreciation.
This choir
has showed its potential as the best choir in Indonesia,
through its programs and achievements. PSM Unpar
is in the protocol section of Parahyangan Catholic
University, directly under the 3rd Assistant
to the University's Rector. It has its routine programs
at protocol functions, such as the National Day Function,
convocation, the admission of new students and other
campus activities.
P
arahyangan Catholic University Choir has now become the
spur of other Indonesian choirs to develop, because of
its quality that has been proven by national and
international acknowledgements to the choir.
