I first heard soprano Katrina Saporsantos perform during CCP President Dr. Raul Sunico’s birthday celebrations that was held at the main lobby of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. I was very impressed by the projection of her voice that somehow managed to fill up the whole lobby. I also thought at that time that her voice could've been heard even from the fourth floor as well. Music lovers will now also have the chance to be impressed by this young soprano when she performs at the second concert of the CCP’s Special Concert Series on August 29, 2012 at 7:30 PM at the Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater). Pianist Augusto Espino accompanies Katrina in the concert. Aside from the concert, she will also be giving a voice masterclass on September 1 and 4 from 1:00 to 5:00 PM at the CCP MKP Multi-Purpose Hall. 

It’s no wonder that Katrina Saporsantos has an impressive voice considering that she has completed a Professional Studies Certificate at the Manhattan School of Music (MSM), and a Master of Music degree in Classical Voice Performance under the studio of American soprano Ashley Putnam. Also add to that a Bachelor of Music degree in Voice and a Diploma in Creative and Performing Musical Arts, under tenor Ramon Acoymo at the University of the Philippines.

As mentioned earlier, this event is the second of three solo concerts by young outstanding Filipino musicians entitled the Special Concert Series. The series opened with the performance of pianist Charisse Baldoria last July 11, 2012 which I unfortunately missed. On September 26, 2012, cellist Antoni Josef Inacay will close the series with his solo concert.
