National Artist for Music Andrea Veneracion passed away on Tuesday night in her home in Cubao, Quezon City.  She was 84. A necrological ceremony in her honor will be held on July 14 at 9 a.m. at the CCP Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater).

Veneracion was a proponent of a kind of music that is not too appreciated these days. Yet it’s safe to say that choirs and choral singers will still be around centuries from now. Veneracion will forever be remembered for her contributions to this music form.
