Open-Air
Auditorium
The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra holds a new series of free family/youth concerts at Rizal Park called Out of the Box, featuring PPO’s wide array of music and
collaborations between local schools beginning November 23, 2013 . This musical event
is presented by the Cultural Center of the Philippines
in cooperation with the People’s Television Network, Inc. (PTNI) and the
National Parks Development Committee (NPDC).
Through
the initiative of PPO’s Music Director/Principal Conductor Olivier Ochanine and the CCP Marketing
Department, the said concerts provide audiences a chance to learn more about
classical music and its ability to touch people in a meaningful and unique
manner. Out of the Box also involves
partnerships with various university groups and organizations for a fresh and
innovative take in presenting a Philharmonic concert.
The
series starts on November 23 at 6:00 PM at
the newly-renovated Rizal Park Open-Air Auditorium, which will also have its
soft launch on the same date. The first concert on Saturday will
have the theme Undress Bonifacio, and
will be presented in collaboration with the University of the Philippines ’
(UP Manila ) Coalition of Cultural
Organizations. A descent of Filipino nationalist and revolutionary Andres Bonifacio,
Patria Bonifacio will share her musical production about the life of the young
Bonifacio. Multimedia and multi-art groups using
different media such as hiphop, rock, graffiti, theatre, and music
will be included to create an upbeat multimedia production.
Succeeding concerts will be held in December for a Christmas theme, in
January 2014 with the Far Eastern University (FEU) with the theme Save the Tamaraw in February with the
Ateneo de Manila University and UP Manila Orgcom students with the theme Love and in March with De La
Salle University and De La Salle-College of St. Benilde with the theme New Beginnings.
