Almost 70 years later, the same music will be replayed by the Manila Symphony Orchestra, led by principal conductor/music director Arturo Molina in a concert presented by the Ortigas Foundation, Inc. to be held on March 13, 2015, 7:00 PM at the Meralco Theater. This commemorative concert entitled Music of Peace will also feature Katrina Legarda reading the introductory speech that was recited by her grandmother, Mrs Trinidad F.
