Amplified, electrified, and plugged in it is music for the people not as untouchable but spanking new works polished and perfected by hands both young and old. This is Music Underkostruction. The program and other are what set apart the MMCO (Metro Manila Community Orchestra). And the man leading the change with his baton is no other than Josefino Chino Toledo. Toledo is one of the Philippines’ finest and best conductors ever. And he is now welcoming the new age of original Pinoy orchestral music through concert series conceived in 2007, which aims to introduce children and their families to classical music. Through performances in alternative venues like malls and school campuses, musical appreciation in a new generation can be perpetuated. [via] |
