MSO concert features soprano Andión Fernandez, cellist Matias de Oliveria Pinto, Jeffrey Ching's opus


The Manila Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Marlon Chen, presents a series of firsts in their upcoming season concert Double Concerto happening on September 1, 2019, 6:00 PM at the Power Mac Center Spotlight, Circuit Makati.

Berlin based cellist Matias de Oliveira Pinto and soprano Andión Fernandez-Ching join the MSO for the Philippine premiere of Jeffrey Ching's ritualistic new work, Celestial-Infernal Grand Nuptial Rite.

The concert will also feature Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385 and Matias performing Franz Joseph Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major, Hob. VIIb/1 with cadenzas by Jeffrey Ching which has never been heard in local shores also. The thought of having a dash of Ching in a Haydn cello concerto is like having a mild breakfast tea spiked with strong liquor. 

And that alone should be more than enough reason to catch this performance.
