Following the successful Asian Youth Jazz Orchestra (AYJO) kick-off concert last February at the Shangri-La Plaza, the pioneer members together with the young musicians who passed the auditions in Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines, are slated to render topnotch orchestra performances for the Manila leg of the AYJO ASEAN Tour 2015<\/em><\/strong> on September 26, 2015 at the Meralco Theater.<\/span><\/p>\n

AYJO is a project of The Japan Foundation Asia Center that aims to create cross-border networks of rising talents through international exchange and collaboration. Two Music Directors \u2013 trombone player and jazz lecturer Osamu Matsumoto and accomplished pianist Mayuko Katakura \u2013 lead the pack of 28 emerging musicians, five of which are Filipinos: Jacques Dufourt and Patrick James Aguilar from the UP College of Music; Rafael Rubio and Peter Joseph Ocampo from the UST Conservatory of Music; and Melvin Perido from Cavite.<\/span><\/p>\n

An exciting new jazz synergy is fostered through the 10-day intensive training and rehearsals in Tokyo in mid-August in preparation for AYJO\u2019s tour around Southeast Asia in September and October, and Japan early next year. The training, rehearsals, and performances allow the participants to create together original pieces that echo their emotions and artistic sensibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

What sounds like a good idea to do on a Saturday night? Taking a break and enjoying the rhythms of promising talents whose collected effort into creating music that resounds with brilliant energy across Asia will shine through their performances.<\/span><\/p>\n
