Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra celebrate Gold classic music at 37th season
The national orchestra and resident company of the Cultural
Center of the Philippines, the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO)
announces its series of shows and programming, the line up of guest artists,
soloist, and conductors for its 37th Season for the year 2019-2020.
CCP President Arsenio Lizaso
CCP President Arsenio Lizaso in his speech during the Press
launching last August 28, 2019, at the Kachina function room of Century Park
Hotel, that PPO will have a very busy season because of the support of many
people across the country, who appreciate music whether they understand it or not. He is thankful to
former Senator now Congresswoman Loren Legarda that pave the way in providing
them funds,in order for the PPO to go to different places in the Philippines.
“We want music and the arts accessible to people, to make it
available to people who cannot come to the center, the center goes to the
people and I’m so happy when I see people from all walks of life right in
front me, when I ask her she said I’m a market vendor watching a Phillippine
Philharmonic Orchestra, can you Imagine that.” Lisazo said.
Outreach activity will continue with PPO on its 37th
season, aside from performing classical music they are conducting musical
workshops for students who want to know how to play different musical
intruments. Among the target cities and provinces to held workshops are Cebu,
Bohol, Taguig, Palawan, Pasig City, Quezon City, Dagupan, Linggayen, Naga,
Legazpi, Sorsogon, Isabela, Tuguegarao, Cagayan De Oro, General Santos, Leyte
and Samar.
“Hindi po tayo namimili, somebody asks me na here in the
center mga elite lang ang nanonood, that is not the point, the point is kasi
sila andito kaya sila nakakapanood, what happens to other friends outside of
Manila, instead of them coming over, so we are the one coming to them.” Lizaso
explain
The upcoming season is billed as “Gold Classical Music
Treasures” in line with the 50 years anniversary of CCP, it will run from September
this year to April of 2020. Some possible tour for PPO is a series of concert
abroad particularly middle east such as Dubai and Qatar, Berlin, Frankfurt and
other cities of Europe. They are also creating a Jazz Festival for Baguio City
come February. PPO also announce the
inclusion of young soprano Alexa Kaufman in their December concerts as a guest
artists.
“Nakikinig, sumasayaw, nangingiti because of the music
that we bring to them, sabi nila naintindihan ba nila yun, that’s not the
point, the point is music can penetrate anyone kahit music ni Bethoven, if you
don’t understand it, that’ not the point, the point is did you like it? Did you
enjoy it? Kasi yan po ay para sa damdamin, kalooban at puso ng mga nakikinig at
nanonood, its always what you bring to art, that you get from art, ganun po
yun.” Lisazo said
Most of the concert line up for the 37th
season are under the baton of PPO Musical Director Yoshikazu Fukumura, while

Are you the kind of person that always looks to see what kind of expensive your neighbor's kid is playing? Or are you worried about what your friends are making as far as their salary? Not happy in your marriage, friendships, or not being satisfied with what you have at the moment? Some people are wondering, why despite the fact that I am just a stay-at-home mother and a not-so-full-time photographer, we are still able to manage to go through the day to day lives being happy and having no (or at times with quite a few) debts from other people. It's just a matter of perspective actually. You need to learn the art of contentment. Being content is not being driven by always wanting more. I know that ambition is a prized trait in our society. I am not saying that ambition is wrong. What I am saying is that the constant striving for more and not enjoying what you have or where you are at the moment will drive you crazy. Things do and will change. Have the at...
I was at a beautiful wedding recently, and I had a small moment of revelation about the meaning of wearing a wedding ring. It’s not an exaggeration to say that my understanding was turned completely upside down. Today I Found Out the history and symbolism behind the tradition of wearing a wedding ring and why, in most western cultures, it’s worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, otherwise known as the ring finger. Wedding rings today are a billion dollar sentiment of love, but no one can really say for sure when this age old tradition actually started. Some believe that the oldest recorded exchange of wedding rings comes from ancient Egypt, about 4800 years ago. Sedges, rushes and reeds, growing alongside the well-known papyrus were twisted and braided into rings for fingers an other decorative ornaments worn by the women in those days. The circle was the symbol of eternity, with no beginning or end, not only to the Egyptians, but many other ancient cult...
A stepfamily or blended family is a family where one parent has children that are not related to the other parent. If you live in a blended household, you almost certainly recognize the dedication and stamina needed for a happy home. Although many families struggle through years of challenging communication, you can use specific strategies to help yours relate and function more peacefully. You may already have learned some techniques that suit your family's needs. To supplement these, review these 9 strategies to help your blended family be healthy, happy and strong. 1. Agree on a plan. In advance of "blending" the families, parents can talk about how they will manage the kids and their lives together. Before you marry or move in, make it a point to discuss openly how you want the management of the kids to be split or shared. 2. Decide not to discipline the other's children. Although this may sound like a drastic measure, it's wise - a...
