Pianist Mary Anne Espina

Known for her “impeccable musicality and sensitivity”, Espina is one of the most sought after chamber musicians in the country today.  A 2008 Aliw awardee, Espina continues to team up with outstanding local and international artists in major concert and recital venues in the country. 

Violinist Gina Medina

As a distinguished violinist, soloist and chamber performer, Medina has gained a vital seat in the Philippines’ classical music circle.  Her commanding musical techniques and precarious abilities never cease to awe her audiences.

Cellist Wilfredo Pasamba

Pasamba, considered one of the finest Filipino cellists today, is a graduate of Moscow Conservatory of Music. He has performed in all major music centers in the world.

Quartetto Espressivo

Quartetto Espressivo, the resident string quartet of Manila Symphony Orchestra, consists of Joseph Brian Cimafranca, violin; Sara Maria Gonzales, violin, Rey Casey Concepcion, viola and Gary Graham Gonzales, cello – all graduates of St.Scholastica’s College School of Music.
