MiraNila Heritage House & Library continues to establish itself as the newest classical music hub in the Metro with the announcement of Strings of Gold: The Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra's Triumphant Return from Europe performance happening on October 1, 2024, 6:00 PM at the Gallery MiraNila.
Last July, the Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra (MSJO) received the gold prize in addition to the Grand Prix in the 13th Bratislava International Youth Music in Slovakia. It was their first participation in the festival.
Only two companies were awarded the Grand Prix in Bratislava this year, the Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool Pretoria from South Africa for their choir and the MSJO from the Philippines for their orchestra. In the same month, the MSJO journeyed to Mozart’s Vienna and garnered the top prize at the prestigious 2024 Summa Cum Laude International Music Festival, a reprise of their golden win of 2021, besting 140 orchestras from 33 countries.
The concert program will feature music for strings composed by Josef Suk, Antonio Vivaldi, and Antonín Dvořák. Modern popular classics by Andrea and Ennio Morricone, Harold Arlen, Ryan Cayabyab, Conrado del Rosario, BINI, and Benny Castillon, among others will also be performed.
