The MCO Foundation's Young Artists Series 2014 ends with a performance of one of the most promising young clarinetists today, Andrew Constantino on October 8, 2014 at 7:00 PM at the Ayala Museum in Makati.

Andrew started his first clarinet lessons at a young age of nine under his father, Ariel Constantino and become a member of his grandfather's band, Imus Youth Symphonic Band. At 12, he was accepted as a music scholar under the tutelage of Prof. Ariel Sta. Ana at the Philippine High School for the Arts.

As a member of the Philippine Youth Symphonic Band, he was able to perform in various venues such as Cultural Center of the Philippines, the defunct Philam Life Auditorium to name a few. Last year, he participated and performed at the Il Convegno Clarinet Festival held at the UST Conservatory of Music. An avid participant in various masterclass including those conducted by John Schertel, Wendy Mazon, Brian Gnojek, Marcel Luxen and recently Andrew Simon.

This concert marks Andrew's professional solo debut. He will be performing Marcel Dautremer’s Récit et Impromptu, Francis Poulenc’s Sonata for Clarinet and Piano, FP 184, Claude Debussy’s Premiére rhapsodie, Robert Schumann’s Fantasiestücke, Op. 73 for Clarinet and Piano, and Aaron Copland’s Clarinet Concerto with Melissa Taqueban as his collaborating pianist.
