Slim pickings in terms of classical music for Metro Manila folks this week but that doesn't mean that there aren't any performances happening elsewhere in the country.
Up in Baguio, internationally renowned tenor Arthur Espiritu, one of the country's top sopranos Stefanie Quintin-Avila, and the ever reliable and versatile pianist Mariel Ilusorio team up for Christmas Solstice on December 2, 2023, 6:00 PM at Canto, Kisad Road in Baguio.
This early Christmas treat will see Arthur, Stefanie, and Mariel perform a mix of classical, musical theater, and holiday music.
Going a bit south to the central Philippine islands, the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra continues their outreach concert tour with Hala Bira PPO sa Kalibo on November 29, 2023, 7:00 PM at the Aklan Provincial Capitol, in front of the Godofredo P. Ramos Park, in Kalibo, Aklan.
This Cultural Center of the Philippines' outreach concert, a part of the orchestra's ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations, will also feature soprano Gerphil Flores-Libana and tenor and musical theatre actor Arman Ferrer. Herminigildo Ranera conducts.
Lined up for the evening are a mix of classical, musical theater, OPM, and surprise numbers especially programmed for the Aklanon audience.
While Metro Manila takes a breather this week, the Manila Pianos Artist Series is a model of consistency with its weekend concerts.
Pianist Jordan Shangkuan Ong will have a solo recital on December 2, 2023, 6:00 PM. Billed as Rhapsody, the performance will feature music by George Gershwin, Frédéric Chopin, Aram Khachaturian, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and a selection of Filipino and Chinese songs.
On December 3, 2023, 7:00 PM, vocal ensemble PASIPO presents Hodie: A Christmas Offering. The group, a part of the talent roster of the Manila Pianos Artist Series since 2019, will perform a Christmas themed program with music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ralph Vaughan-Williams, and Felipe de Leon.
Both Rhapsody and Hodie: A Christmas Offering will be held at the Manila Pianos Showroom at Ronac Lifestyle Center, Paseo de Magallanes, Makati.
Here again is the run down of music events and more happening this week.
