A decade after conquering four Sergei Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos in one evening, internationally renowned pianist Raul Sunico tackles all three of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovksy’s piano concertos in a performance happening this February 22, 2015, 4:00 PM at the Old Senate Hall of the National Museum of the Philippines.

Presented by the Asian Institute of Management (AIM), this concert billed as Raul Sunico Performs Tchaikovksy: The Premiere Concert will be the first time in the world that a single pianist will perform in one evening all of Tchaikovsky’s three concertos that includes the popular Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23, the rarely played Piano Concerto No. 2 in G major, Op.44, and the posthumously published Piano Concerto No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 75. Accompanying Sunico is the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Associate Conductor Herminigildo Ranera.

Concurrently President of the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Dean of the UST Conservatory of Music, Sunico has garnered acclaim around the world where he had performed in solo recitals as well as with the best orchestras throughout Europe, North America, Australia, Middle East, and Asia.

The evening is a celebration not only of Sunico’s brilliance as a musician but also of AIM’s excellence as an international graduate business school. Nearing its 50th anniversary, AIM sets its eyes on a vigorous future where it continues to enjoy a leadership status in the ASEAN region by mobilizing resources for its exciting campus development plans. Like Sunico, this pioneering graduate business school proudly stands on its rich heritage amid an ASEAN backdrop that rises on the global economic landscape.

Raul Sunico Performs Tchaikovksy: The Premiere Concert is co-sponsored by the National Museum of the Philippines and Lyric Piano and Organ Corporation.
