Aiming to introduce the young (and the not so young) to the wonders of the orchestra and orchestral music, the Cultural Center of the Philippines presents the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra in the PPO Young People's Concert happening on July 7, 2023, 4:00 PM at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater.
The concert will feature a trio of CCP music scholars namely flutist Mark Kenedy Rocas, violinist Adrian Nicolas Ong, and pianist Aidan Ezra Baracol performing with the PPO under the baton of Herminigildo Ranera.
The program includes Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld Overture, the first two movements of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Flute Concerto No. 2 in D major, K. 314, Maurice Ravel’s Tzigane, and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18.
The three featured soloists have been making their mark in the music scene in recent years with Bacarol making a splash during the PPO's 50th Anniversary Jubilee Gala last May. Ong last shared the stage with the PPO at A French-Ship Concert held on July 2022. Rocas, on the other hand, has been performing as Assistant Principal Flute with the UP Symphony Orchestra.
The PPO Young People's Concert marks the orchestra's debut at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater. Admission to the concert is for free with tickets to be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater main lobby on July 7, 2023 starting at 2:30 PM.
