Cultural Arts Scholarship Program of De La Salle University

The Cultural Arts Office dedicates itself in promoting a well-balanced non formal education of culture and the arts to the Lasallian community. Through its self-organized programs and activities, the awareness and appreciation of different art forms are being promoted. It ensures that its self-organized productions are of good quality and are relevant to the community.

The office also cultivates the innate talents of artistically inclined Lasallian students through its different cultural organizations representing dance, music, theatre, film and broadcast arts. The skills of aspiring artists in these fields are refined through relevant workshops, seminars, symposia as well as competitions and awards. The CAO consists of the Green Media Group (production staff) and the Student Artist Managers (administrative staff) and eight performing groups: the DLSU Chorale, DLSU Chamber Ensemble, De La Salle Innersoul, DLSU Pops Orchestra, La Salle Dance Company – Jazz, La Salle Dance Company-Street, La Salle Dance Company-Folk, and the Harlequin Theatre Guild. They are trained not only to be excellent performers but excellent managers as well. These groups also hold outreach programs to promote culture and the arts in the grassroots level through workshops and performances.
