"Christmas time is the wonderful time of the year when our hearts are specially filled with love and gratitude" and it is in this spirit that the University of Santo Tomas holds its annual Christmas Concert. The Christmas Concert is the University’s gift to its benefactors, friends and to the Thomasian community. 
The concert features world-class Thomasian talents such as the UST Singers (Grand Prize Winner in the 4th Florence International Choir Festival 2015 in Florence, Italy), Coro Tomasino, Liturgikon and the UST Symphony Orchestra with Prof. Herminigildo Ranera as conductor among others. Guest musician for the 2016 Christmas Concert is composer and conductor, Mr. Ryan Cayabyab. Venue for the concert is the UST Chapel. Internet (Watch out for replay on TV)
