    PH’s leading orchestra Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) is set to perform at the world-renowned Carnegie Hall in New York on June 18 for their USA concert tour.

    This performance is a historic first for PPO as they are also the first orchestra from the Philippines to perform in US, and at this famed arts centre in New York. This is also part of the orchestra’s “MILESTONES: Celebrating the Filipino Spirit.” This concert is spearheaded by Principal Conductor Olivier Ochanine. The concert will also be featuring pianist Cecile Licad and violinist Diomedes Saraza.

    Proceeds from this historic concert will go to a housing project of the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation in Tacloban for the survivors of typhoon Yolanda. Aside from that, the concert also aims to bring pride to the Filipinos abroad and “celebrate Filipino spirit through music.”

    The PPO, which was established in 1973, has performed with various renowned conductors in the world. Among them are Mendi Rodan, Piero Gamba, and Enrique Batis. They also perform alongside world-class foreign and Filipino artists such as Judith Engel, Anthony Camden, Cecile Licad, and Lea Salonga. PPO has also performed various shows abroad such as Japan and Bangkok.
