CERRITOS — The critically-acclaimed Filharmonic a cappella group brings holiday cheer to the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) on Friday, Dec. 10. at 8 pm. Ticket prices start at $20.

What started as friendly chance encounters at singing competitions in college eventually solidified into a harmonious group as members of The Filharmonic discovered their Filipino kinship and shared love of music. 

The Los Angeles-based Filipino-American youngsters were finalists in NBC’s hit musical competition, “The Sing-Off,” joining the show’s national tour. The quintet has appeared in Universal Pictures’ movie “Pitch Perfect 2” and the “Late Late Show With James Cordon.”

“The Filharmonic style mixes hip-hop sound with ’90s nostalgia … linking their passion for a wide variety of performance styles,” hailed the Hollywood Reporter. 

The group consists of VJ Rosales, Joe Caigoy, Trace Gaynor, Jules Cruz, and Niko Del Rey.
