Hundreds of young Suzuki method
practitioners, parents and teachers converge here in Manila as the Philippine Suzuki Association hosts the 7th Asia Region Suzuki Conference with the theme Art
to Heart this July 1-5, 2018 at the Treston International College, Bonifacio Global City.
For almost a week, young children playing
the violin, piano, cello, and guitar under the Suzuki method from the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong,
China, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand get to take part in group, orchestra, enrichment classes and masterclasses under international teachers, perform together in mini recitals, and watch the performances at the series of concerts lined up during the
conference.
Good thing that these concerts,
happening on July 2-4, 2018 at Globe Auditorium, Maybank Performing Arts
Theater, Bonifacio Global City, are not just for the conference participants
but also for the general public as well. And at a very affordable price to boot.
For three straight nights, music lovers can enjoy music from chamber groups, young
and upcoming artists, and a handful of established concert artists who owe much
of their success to the Suzuki method.
On July 2, chamber groups such as Expression Music
Ensemble from Brunei Darussalam, GMS Piano Ensemble, Panagsagan Duo, Paraluman,
STAR Suzuki Strings, and TTEA Violin Group from Taiwan open the series of
performances at the Ensemble Concert.
On July 3, promising young
musicians namely Hansel Ang, Paulina Araña, Heidi Cahyadi, Gregory Cheong,
Yu-Chia Chiu, Gabriel Domagas, Adrian Ong, Micah Pecson, Jannina Peña, EJ
Villarin, and Shi-Xuan Yang take to the stage at the Young Artists Concert. The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra under the
baton of Herminigildo Ranera will accompany the young artists at the concert.
On July 4, established concert artists
namely violinist Regina Buenaventura, guitarist Ramoncito Carpio, cellist Victor
Coo, and pianist Oliver Salonga headline the Artists Concert wrapping up the series.
The concerts start at 7:00 PM and
tickets to each concert are priced at P500. For inquiries, call (0966) 468-7894.
