“Malaysia’s premiere pianist Claudia Yang to perform in Manila”

The Manila Chamber Orchestra Foundation and Ayala Museum present the second concert of the “Great Performances Series” with the upcoming performance of Malaysia’s premiere pianist Claudia Yang in a solo concert on July 27, 2013 at the Ayala Museum at 7:00 in the evening.

Acclaimed as “pianist who really plays from her whole heart and soul” (Lorin Maazel) and “one of the rare pianist who brings joy to their audience.” (Paul Badura-Skoda), Claudia Yang studied at the Hochschule fur Music und Darstellende Kunst in Vienna under foremost pedagogue Prof. Paul Badura Skoda and later with Ludwig Hoffman. She was awarded with a Bosendorfer scholarship that leads to concerts throughout Europe and music festivals.

In 1997, she was invited by the Chinese and Malaysian Ambassador to give a diplomatic recital in Budapest. Since then, she was regularly invited by the State to perform for their diplomatic events including the NATO meeting in Hungary, the opening of “Meet in Beijing” International Music Festival, the state visit of Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’Seri Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi in China. In 2010, she was invited by the Frederic Chopin Society in Poland to celebrate Chopin’s 200 Birth Anniversary. Since then, she was invited to sit as a jury member at the International Chopin Competition for Young Artists. In commemoration with the 200th anniversary of Franz Liszt’s birth, she was invited by the Hungarian Government to tour Asia and Europe giving concerts with the complete Liszt’s repertoire.

Upcoming performances include recitals in Russia, Hungary, Switzerland, Finland, China, Indonesia, Japan and as soloist with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Slovak Philharmonic, Malaysian Philharmonic, the Asia Pacific United Orchestra and Malta Philharmonic.
In Manila, she will be performing the heartrending complete Ballades of Frederic Chopin and the profound and fiendish Ten (10) preludes Op. 23 of Sergei Rachmaninoff. A special masterclass will be held on July 28 (Sunday) at 2:00 – 5:00 in the afternoon at the Ayala Museum free of charge to both the participants and the observers.

vince: the weeping bonifacio

“I did a lot of research on Andres Bonifacio’s life”, Vince said to this blogger one time. “And I discovered that he cried. He wept. Not because of himself, but because of his country.”

Vince is known for presenting real-life heroes into a different “take”. A different perspective. Just like what he did in PSF (Philippine Stagers’ Foundation)’s previous plays like “Ako Si Ninoy”, “Cory Ng Edsa”, and “Joe: The Rocksical”

In “Bonifacio: Isang Zarzuela”, Vince will show a different and sensitive, but braver Bonifacio.

“The meaning of his tears were different”, Vince said. “And you’ll see what I am trying to say when you watch me portraying the man who should have been our National Hero.”

The opening of PSF’s new theater season will have a take-off of July 19, with “Bonfacio: Isang Zarzuela”. What a kick!

Sandosenang Sapatos this coming July 2013!

TP celebrates National Children’s Book Day with a musical performance of Sandosenang Sapatos this coming July 2013!

In time for the commemoration of the 28th National Children’s Book day and Tanghalang Pilipino’s 27th theater season, the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Philippine Board on Books for Young people present Sandosenang Sapatos of Palanca Awardee and renowned playwright Layeta P. Bucoy. This musical production will be brought to life by the arrangement and composition of Noel Cabangon and Jed Balsamo this coming July 2013.

The play is adapted from Dr. Luis P. Gatmaitan’s book which he wrote after reading various children’s stories during his sponsored training course in writing non-fiction books for youth at Tokyo, Japan. These books centered themselves on motifs of Japanese’s affection, concern and respect for people with disabilities.

Sandosenang Sapatos tells a narrative of a Filipino middle class household composed of a father, who makes a living out of shoes, his wife and two children. The premise of its plot lies on the shoemaker’s dream to have a ballerina as a daughter someday and to make the best shoes for her. It continues as his family faces struggles after realizing that the younger child has incapacitated limbs. As the younger daughter gets older, she would experience maltreatment and unjust stereotypes that her society attaches to physically-challenged people. Certainly, this play attempts to reflect on what it means to support and care for one’s family members, especially those who need it most.

The cast of Sandosenang Sapatos consists of Jonathan Tadioan (the father/shoemaker), May Bayot (the wife), Trixie Esteban (Susie) and Tessa Prieto Valdez (Diwata), Racquel Tajonera (Diwata Understudy) and other artists from TP Actors Company namely Regina De Vera, Marco Viaña, Ralph Mateo, Nicolo Magno, Remus Villanueva, Jovanni Cadag, DorayDayao, Llorvie Nuevo, Jan Vincent T. Ibesate, Aldo Glenn Vencilao and Antonette Go.

The play is directed by Tuxqs Rutaquio with TJ Ramos as the production’s sound designer and Gerald Mercado as its choreographer.

Watch the play at Tanghalang Huseng Batute at Cultural Center of the Philippines for only PHP600 for Regular Adult, PHP300 for students and kids below 7 yrs. old. Discount to Senior Citizens, Government Employees, Military personnel and PWDs applies.

Play runs for 12 shows in two weeks. Catch this on July 13 (Sat), July 14 (Sun), July 18 (Thu), July 19 (Fri), July 20 (Sat) and July 21 (Sun) at 10 am or 3 pm.
