Music lovers\u00a0are in for a rare treat as noted Filipino pianists Raul Sunico and Ingrid Santamaria perform Felix Mendelssohn’s <\/span>Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in A flat<\/b> with the\u00a0Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) this Friday, March 16!<\/span><\/p>\n

Fresh from their successful outreach concerts in Iloilo and Antique, the PPO continues to romance the classics on its seventh concert for its 35th season on\u00a0March 16, 2018, 8\u00a0pm at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater) of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Taking the baton for this concert is Maestro Herminigildo Ranera, which will start the night with\u00a0Toru Takemitsu’s\u00a0Requiem for String Orchestra.\u00a0<\/em> K<\/span>nown for his subtle manipulation of instrumental and orchestral timbre in his compositions, Takemitsu wrote\u00a0Requiem for String Orchestra\u00a0<\/em>as a tribute to his mentor, Japanese composer\u00a0Fumio Hayasaka. It’s a piece that showcases an\u00a0avant-garde style of\u00a0composition, with elements of various forms combined with Western modernism.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Acclaimed Filipino pianist Raul Sunico regales the world with his music. He holds the singular distinction of being the only pianist in the world to perform the four piano concertos of Sergei Rachmaninoff in a single evening. He has also recorded\u00a0more than 40 CDs and albums, including 15 volumes of Filipino folk songs and kundimans<\/em> he arranged for classical piano.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Born in Cebu City, acclaimed pianist Ingrid Santamaria received her music degree from the Battig Piano School, under the tutelage of her mother, Pilar Blanco Sala, followed by further studies at the Juilliard School in New York. She is also the founder of\u00a0the Peace Philharmonic Philippines (formerly Cebu Youth Symphony Orchestra), the only orchestra group south of Manila.<\/span><\/p>\n

PPO\u00a0will end the night with\u00a0Johannes Brahms’s Symphony No. 4<\/em>. The last of the German composer’s symphonies, it premiered in 1885 at Meiningen, Germany. Among the four symphonies composed by Brahms, Symphony No.4 is the only one ending in a minor key.<\/span><\/p>\n
