The Madz displayed a virtuoso performance so moving one juror had to describe the group's music as the "most beautiful sound on earth".

This title is given to celebrity advocates charged with the mission of embodying and raising awareness of the UNESCO ideals, which include peace, security, fundamental human rights, and freedom.

[10] In its storied history, the Philippine Madrigal Singers has given life to a myriad of choral compositions and arrangements by the legendary renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic, and contemporary composers.

The group has also sung compositions and arrangements by Filipino composers, including those by active members and alumni of the Madz, like Robert Delgado, Anna Abeleda-Piquero, Nilo Alcala, Saunder Choi, Ily Matthew Maniano, Ed Nepomuceno, and a lot more.

For the 2007 European Grand Prix for Choral Singing held in Arezzo, Italy, the choral group performed a 20-minute program that included John August Pamintuan's celestial arrangement of "Pater Noster",[13] the French madrigal "Revecy venir du printans" ("Revoicy venir du printemps") composed by Claude Le Jeune, the German art song "Jagdlied" by Felix Mendelssohn,[14] the American contemporary song “We Beheld Once Again the Stars” ("Riveder le Stelle") by Z. Randall Stroope,[15] and a children's song from Maguindanao, Philippines titled “Kaisa-isa Niyan” by Madz alumnus Nilo Alcala.
