Guest artists are Filipino violinist Joaquin Maria “Chino” Gutierrez for the morning concert, and violinist Adrian Nicolas C. Ong for the afternoon performance.
Stimulate your child’s creativity and help them develop an understanding of symphonic music in a concert setting. They’ll also have the chance better know the four major families of instruments: brass, percussion, strings, and woodwinds. Certain musical terms will also be explained during the concert.
The program includes J. Strauss’ Die Fledermaus – Overture and Pizzicato Polka, C. Saint-Saens’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, R. Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on Greensleeves, Leroy Anderson’s Serenata, and Arturo Marques’ Danzon No.2.
